Where will people live in the US in 2030?
SF, NYC, LA, DC, Boston, Seattle?
The Suburbs?
We believe Manhattan is MySpace in 2004
Cites have historically been built around
destinations for work, trade, or education.
But the nature of work is changing
So what will be the “port” for new cities
built over the next 10-15 years?

Building a Developer Community
Residents develop other “apps”: restaurants, bars,
climbing gym, biotech labs, yoga studio, coffee shops,
sports facilities, community gardens, movie theatre,
performance theatre, day spa/hot-springs, retail,
entertainment, gaming, etc.
Get buy-in from residents before opening up a store
(efficient free market with less risk).
To solve the cold start problem, bring in large number of
visitors every Fri/Sat to increase foot traffic to businesses.
