• Incredible list of ways to find community. Interestingly 90%+ is "scheduled" community 😔

So many interesting tidbits in here;
- Ireland housing crisis worst in the world. Planning process uber bureaucratic (not news obviously)
- Interesting models from Korean and Israel
- ADUs in the US started in 2016, now 21% of new units in LA are ADUs - cover
- "Street Votes" - "The idea is simple: following the example of the international precedents, Ireland should give small local areas the power to develop more, if they wish to. In the Irish context, the most appropriate geographical unit for such decisions is the street"
- "Consider an average South Dublin street consisting of two-storey detached and semi-detached houses. Street votes would allow residents to choose a street plan that allows each home to add three more storeys, adding tens of additional units. Homeowners could sell or rent out the additional units thereby realising significant returns at current property levels."

• Obviously not applicable to me at any point in the short term, but I love Supernuclear's content so saving for future.
• In short, covers 2 methods: "Market Rent", and "Return on Investment" which are pretty self explanatory

• "This is a club and a community, and the physical living experience is just a small component."
• "The concept for a live-in accelerator was born last summer. On the way down, we got this cheeky idea," Goldstein said. "Let's pretend this is TikTok creator house"

• Took long notes on this and closed the tab and lost them 😩 - will attempt to re-do.
• General theme - very relevant to everything we're thinking about at the minute.
• "the individual lifestyle that the creator economy spawns ignores the science of human psychology"
• "tools that create new, digitally native formats for small groups of people to create wealth and form strong social bonds"
• "We live in the world of my money and your money. Our money isn’t quite here yet"
• "Pacaso is a platform that enables co-ownership" <- Groupbuy
• "I don’t want to create a podcast on my own but it’d be fun to record a season with a few friends. I don’t want to deal with the tax mess, but it’d be fun to start an investment club with the Jacuzzi crew or collaborate on a merch line with fellow TypeHouse writers"

• "It also seems absurd to build cities from scratch when there are so many towns that already have the basic infrastructure in place"
• "Starting a city from scratch ignores the needs and lifestyles of the vast majority of Americans and forces the tech community’s will upon them"
• "If you'd rather live in a more intellectually, financially, spiritually, and professionally varied community, Creator Towns are more your speed."

• "Squads are both a product of—and a response to—contemporary social atomization"
• "Whether bound together for survival or for lols, the squads formed by today's crisis will be resilient. Distance is no longer a barrier with the closeness of network space—soon vital culture will be predominantly enacted by fictive kin. Group collaboration is now the strong default, putting squads at the center of social, cultural, and economic life."
• "Millennials are healing from decades of irony poisoning, rediscovering what it's like to have generative, exploratory relationships with one another."
• "The ideal squad count is no more than 12. How can you really be present with more than a dozen people"
• "A greater network may surround the squad, making it appear big and fuzzy from the outside. But for the core crew, an invisible circle binds and protects a space of group identity."
• "One necessary condition of the squad is this sense of persistence: co-presence and continuous availability to one another."
• "After enough fire in the group DM, some squads begin to externalize their social products"
• "Podcasting is obviously a squad technology. Rapid publishing turns memes into whitepapers, quickly flooding the marketplace of ideas with locally-grown squad humor."
• "Once together the squad's potential for creative production is immeasurable"
• "The group is the basic user class for the tools we need today as a society, yet few pieces of software allow the squad as a whole to produce cooperatively and generate wealth together."
• "Contributions to the squad are positive sum. And in return for their contribution, members have access to an expanded set of opportunities, claims on future economic flows and guarantees backed by the group. By risking together, a scrappy group can gain access to multiplicative yields"
• "Squads will be as important as companies in the years to come. And as the micro-structure of our social and economic fabric changes, strong vibes and sustainability will become the new metric of success"

• Remote work may not save the American family, but it will provide it more freedom:
• Freedom to choose the status quo of a nuclear, city-bound model that works for those who can afford it; or the freedom to revert to the corporate, community-based model, which thrives in places where real-estate is cheap
• Where houses are large and where many hands surround children so parents can be productive workers

• "Humans have never really lived on earth."
• "Accessibility no longer requires proximity. You no longer have to physically relocate in order to acquire the tools and resources you need to live a comfortable life."
• "We are moving towards a reality where work and location no longer need to depend on the other. With the rapidly growing infrastructures of telecommunications, green energy, delivery services, and travel flexibility – both in pace of advancement and market size – a new way of working and living is emerging."

This was so good! The whole thing is worth reading.

• Individual: A single person makes the decision with no input. This could be the “leader” or a self-appointed individual. We’ll talk about who this person is in the next section.
• Individual with input: A single person hears other people out, but still makes the decision themselves.
• Sub-group: A portion of the group makes the decision, e.g. “Fred and Suzie, you two decide”
• Sub-group with input: Same as above except they also solicit input from rest of the group.
• Majority: Here’s the ole democracy we know and sometimes love. Put it to a vote. Majority decides.
• Consensus: Everyone votes. No one is opposed to the decision
• Alignment: Everyone votes. Everyone is in complete affirmative agreement with the decision (note: stronger than simply not opposing)
