Maternal Health Experts & Think Tanks - Heat Risk Pregnant Women Delhi

I am a journalist based in Delhi and I am looking for experts or think tanks, who can contribute snd help me understand the intersection of extreme heat and health of pregnant women living in informal settlements and poor housing in Delhi. Delhi’s previous HAP recognises pregnant women as a vulnerable category. However, from what I have been able to gather, the plan offers no specific mitigation measures for them, no targeted cooling infrastructure, and 0 to limited last-mile health outreach.

Massachusetts Renters - Tenant-Paid Broker Fee Experiences

Boston Globe: Recent experiences with broker fees? Hi everyone! I’m Andrew Brinker, a reporter at the Boston Globe writing about housing and the cost of living in Massachusetts. Have you paid a broker fee for an apartment rental here recently? Or reached out about a listing only to find out the place has a mandatory, tenant-paid broker fee? I’d be interested in chatting with you for a story I’m working on. Last year, the Legislature passed what at the time was described as a ban on tenant-paid broker fees. But in practice, broker fees still seem to be relatively widespread, even for tenants who do not directly hire a leasing agent. I have come across dozens of rental listings that include broker fees, and even encountered brokers charging fees during my own apartment search recently. If you’re up to chat about your recent experience with broker fees, please respond or feel free to send me an email! I’m at [email redacted]. Thanks!

WMS & ERP Providers - Warehouse Connectivity Performance Issues

We keep seeing this in warehouses… so I am curious to see if WMS vendors agree... We spend a lot of time inside warehouses where the story sounds familiar: 👉 “The WMS is slow” 👉 “Scanners keep freezing” 👉 “Voice picking isn’t reliable” But when we dig in, it’s often not the WMS at all, but the underlying connectivity. Across multiple MWL sites, we’re seeing patterns of: 🔻 Delayed or out-of-sequence scan data 🔻 Session drops during movement across the warehouse 🔻 Latency spikes at peak times (shift change, dispatch windows) 🔻 Devices are retrying silently and slowing everything down 🔻 Systems showing “healthy”… while operations say otherwise From a network perspective, this is: 👉 Not downtime 👉 Not failure 👉 But constant micro-delays under load We call it Invisible Downtime. But here’s the part I’m genuinely interested in 👇 👉 WMS / ERP providers: Do you see these same behaviours from your side? How often is “system performance” actually impacted by network conditions? What does it look like in your logs, telemetry, or support tickets? Because from what we’re seeing, the issue often sits between systems that are not clearly owned by IT, operations, or the WMS provider. And this is why it persists. In my next post, I’ll break down the specific WMS issues we repeatedly trace back to connectivity and the operational impact they create. I'd like to hear from anyone on the WMS/ERP side on this, as it's useful to compare perspectives. #WMS #WarehouseManagementSystem #SupplyChainSoftware #WarehouseTechnology #LogisticsTechnology #SupplyChain #Warehousing #OperationalEfficiency #WarehousePerformance #InvisibleDowntime

Southampton, Brighton & Hove & Liverpool Residents - Homes Below NDSS

I'm writing a story about the impacts of small flats and space standards on communities, and I really need case studies! Hey everyone, I'm Rosie, a freelance journalist, and I'm currently writing a piece about the impacts of nationally described space standards on communities in England! Essentially I'm looking at areas which have adopted the standard and which haven't, and I'm also looking at the experiences of people who are living below the space standard. I'm far from an expert on this but I've got lots of expert voices and have received guidance from town planners, but what I'm missing is case studies from individuals who actually live in these homes. If anybody could help me find two to three people who live in homes below the space standard I'd be so grateful! Here's a link to the government definition of the NDSS, including a table showing property square meterage per person: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/technical-housing-standards-nationally-described-space-standard I'm particularly interested in talking to people who live in/around Southampton, Brighton & Hove, Liverpool, London, Manchester & Sheffield.

Parents Raised in Cities - Raising Kids in Today's Cities

I read a recent FT piece on cities losing their children and found it both compelling and frustrating. The article did a great job with the data - housing policies, price increases, birth rates, school closures, etc. which are pushing families outside cities, but neglected to ask some of the deeper questions that have been rattling inside my head. I took the subway alone in Tokyo from the age of six. I won't let my 9 year old can't walk to the corner without me. So, this is going to be my next piece on this and I'd love to hear from you: - Where did you grow up, and what did the city give you as a child? - Where are you raising children now, and what does it feel like for them? - What have you had to give up, fight for, or reconstruct for your child in cities? Drop a comment or send me a message. Your experience may find its way into the piece! Thank you!

NYC Rent-Stabilized Tenants & Landlords - Vacant Units Off Market

The English speaking team of a news channel that I collaborate with is working on a story about rent-stabilized apartments, vacant units, and the broader contradiction between the shortage of affordable housing and apartments that remain off the market. Their audience is generally not familiar with this phenomenon, so we are trying to explain clearly how it works in practice and how people inside the market understand it. They are looking for live filming, so any apartments, archives of court cases or even walking around with an expert would be preferable. #ny #housing

Construction Professionals - Global Construction & Housing Crisis

Working on a documentary + article about the global construction and housing crisis — need your insights 🎬🏗️ Hey all, I'm currently writing an article and in parallel developing a documentary on the state of the construction industry and the housing crisis — and I want to make sure it reflects the reality of people actually working in the sector, not just what politicians and economists say. The more I research, the clearer it is that this isn't one country's problem — it's a global pattern. A few things that keep coming up everywhere: \\Material costs\\ that never really came back down after Covid — concrete, steel, timber, insulation all sitting at elevated levels \\Labour shortages\\ that nobody has a clean answer for — wages climbing fast but still not enough hands on site \\Small builders being squeezed out\\ by financing barriers and procurement systems built for big developers \\First-time builders and self-builders\\ getting little to no support or guidance despite owning land they could actually use Governments setting ambitious housing targets that the industry simply doesn't have the workforce or capacity to hit I'd love to hear from anyone in the sector — from sole traders and small local builders all the way up to large contractors and developers: 🪵 \\How bad is it where you are?\\ Are costs stabilising or still climbing? 🪵 What's the biggest bottleneck you're seeing day to day — labour, materials, finance, planning? 🪵 Has anything actually \worked\ in your region to get more homes built faster? 🪵 What do you wish decision-makers understood that they clearly don't? 🪵 Would you be open to sharing your experience on camera for the documentary? All backgrounds welcome — tradespeople, QSs, architects, project managers, developers big and small. The more perspectives the better. Even a few lines in the comments makes a difference. Cheers 🙏

Nextdoor Users in Marin - Anti-Growth Bullying & Suspensions

Probably everyone in my network is too cool to be on Nextdoor, but when I moved back to the area where I grew up, I joined, partly because I’m no longer on Facebook. And I’ve learned about some very fun events and have managed to sell or give away some unwanted items. I have also been relentlessly bullied for being pro-housing in notoriously anti-growth Marin. My account has been suspended three times for standing up to these bullis. Now, I’m working on an article about how Nextdoor managed to become the most unneighborly social media network. If you have any anecdotes to share, drop them in the comments or DM me. Thanks!

British Expats - Considering Return To UK - Lifestyle Downgrade

I'm curious - any British expats thinking of moving back to the UK but worry it would be a lifestyle downgrade? I'd love to speak to British expats who moved abroad to work remotely for a better life, lower cost-of-living, cheaper lifestyle, more luxurious life, but for whatever reason is thinking of returning to the UK (ageing parents, better schooling for kids, missing the UK and less extreme weather), but is put off by how expensive the UK has become/pricy housing. Perhaps worried moving back might be a downgrade in lifestyle (atm they can afford to have a huge house, cleaner, cook etc) Or feel stuck now they've moved away as it's too expensive to go back/buy the same size property they sold in Britain years ago?
