Senior Living Leaders - AI Adoption in Senior Housing

Great conversation with Jessie Lucci and Lucas McCurdy Senior Living Fan 📣 on The Signal podcast's first episode! Lucas approached me with an idea he had been marinating on... a podcast where the discussion would focus on technology in our industry. AI conversations are happening everywhere, but there wasn't much focused on our senior housing. I was hesitant at first, because I don't really view myself as an AI expert. I am curious about it, I want to leverage it in my personal life and business, and I have enjoyed learning about it and experimenting with it. I'm approaching this podcast with the goal of learning in public and sharing my experiences. I want to speak with people who are experimenting, testing, and building with AI and learn from them - with you. AI is prominent in the technology of daily living for most of the planet. ChatGPT and Google's Gemini each have 1B+ MAUs and Meta has engrained AI into its products which are used by 1/4 of the planet. NIC MAP ran a survey recently where respondents confirmed that AI is heavily used at work. 86% of respondents use it for work and 79% of them use it daily. This technology is moving fast. Let's learn how to use it together.

Adults 20s-40s - Family Wealth & Financial Safety Nets

Looking for sources for a NYT piece on family money + financial safety nets Hi! Mods kindly approved me posting this here. I’m Hanna Horvath, a CFP and writer, and I’m currently reporting an opinion piece for The New York Times about the growing role family wealth plays in young adults’ financial lives. I’m particularly interested in the idea that two people can earn similar incomes but have completely different levels of financial security depending on whether they have a family safety net behind them. That support might mean parents helping with college, rent, a down payment, childcare, emergencies, or simply knowing someone could step in if you lost your job. On the other side, I’m equally interested in people who don’t have that backstop — or who financially support their parents instead. I’d love to speak with people about how this has affected decisions around things like: Jobs or career risks Housing / homeownership Starting a business or going freelance Student debt Marriage or having children Saving and investing How comfortable you feel taking financial risks or dealing with setbacks I’m especially interested in hearing from people in their 20s, 30s and 40s, hoping to chat with people with very different levels of family support. Interviews would be around 20–30 minutes, and I’m happy to explain more about the piece and reporting process before you agree to anything. If you’re interested, you can fill out this short form: https://forms.gle/ByMS2fNCpD5Qcm679 Or email me directly at [email redacted] Thank you!

Prospective Homebuyers in Massachusetts - 30-Year Mortgage Rate Surge

Boston Globe: Any prospective homebuyers out there? Hi everyone! I'm Andrew Brinker, housing reporter at The Boston Globe. The average on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage soared to over 7 percent this week, further escalating the cost of homebuying across the US and especially in Massachusetts, where home prices continue to climb. I am working on a story about how the elevated rates are impacting prospective homebuyers. If you're searching for a house in Massachusetts and are up to chat with me about what the recent surge in rates means for you, send me a note! I'm at [email redacted]. Thanks!

Recently Homeless People in San Francisco 3-6 Mo - Shelter & Services

Looking to speak with someone who has recently experienced homelessness in San Francisco I’m looking to interview someone who is currently experiencing homelessness or has navigated it within the last 3–6 months. I’d also like to visit some of the resource centers, shelters, and programs around SF with someone who has actually had to use or navigate these services recently. The goal is to better understand what the process is really like and what helps, what doesn’t, and what someone should know if they suddenly find themselves without housing. If you're open to sharing your experience, please DM me.

Project Managers & Contractors - Constructability Cost Affordable Housing

Part 3 — Construction Can Better Constructability Reduce the Cost of Affordable Housing? In Part 2, I explored how standardization could help us avoid reinventing the wheel for every housing project. But a good design is only part of the equation. How easy is it actually to build? This is where constructability becomes important. From a Project Manager’s perspective, constructability means thinking about construction before construction begins. For example: • Can the design be built efficiently with the available trades and equipment? • Are different building systems properly coordinated? • Can materials be installed safely and efficiently? • Is there adequate access for workers, equipment and material movement? • Are details unnecessarily complicated? • Can repetitive work be simplified? • Are there opportunities to reduce rework and construction waste? These questions may appear small individually. But on a multi-unit housing project, a small inefficiency repeated hundreds of times can become a significant cost. A difficult connection, an unnecessarily complex detail, or poor coordination between trades can lead to: More labour → More rework → More material waste → More changes → More time → Higher cost And the opposite can also be true. A design decision that makes installation simpler can potentially improve productivity, reduce rework and make the schedule more predictable. This is why I think constructability should happen early, rather than waiting for problems to appear on site. Architects, engineers, contractors, trades and suppliers can bring different perspectives to the design. Getting those perspectives together early may identify opportunities that aren't obvious from drawings alone. This also connects with the idea from Part 2: Standardization is most valuable when we learn not only what to build, but how to build it better. The objective isn't to make housing cheap by cutting corners. It is to eliminate unnecessary complexity while maintaining quality, durability, safety and good design. I'd like to hear from architects, engineers, contractors, trades and Project Managers: What constructability issue have you seen repeatedly increase cost or schedule on housing projects? And what is one design decision you've seen that made construction significantly easier?
