Migrant Professionals in Luxembourg - First Months Housing & Work

“I’m in a bad place mentally, and I’m scared of what will happen if I migrate to Luxembourg by myself.” A good friend told me this on a call yesterday. I fully agree. That fear is real. It’s the fear of the unknown. Imagine getting off the plane alone, and not finding a single friend or connection there. How would you feel? So I’m doing the best thing I can think of to help. For our podcast, Our Migrant Experience, I’m prioritising interviews with professionals who’ve established themselves in Luxembourg. I want to hear about: ❓ Their first few months, and how they found their place in the community ❓ How the practical side worked out, like money and finding a place to live ❓ How their personal and professional lives have progressed In uncertain times, all of us need a guide. This is me trying to find one for my buddy, and hundreds more like him looking to make this move. If you’re in Luxembourg, or know someone who is, please sign up through the form in the comments 👇 You can share your story anonymously too. That’s what Migrant Circle is all about. Using our own experiences to help the next migrant through. --- Hi fellow migrant! I’m Pula, a migrant myself here in Auckland, New Zealand. 🇳🇿 I’m building Migrant Circle, a community for migrants worldwide, so we can all thrive together. Follow Migrant Circle, connect with me and drop me a DM. Cheers! ❤️

First-Time Buyers in Canada - No Family Financial Help

📣 Final call for sources: did you buy your first home without help from the “Bank of Mom and Dad”? I'm looking to speak with Canadians who bought their first home — or are currently trying to get there — without financial support from family. I'm particularly keen to hear from: - First-time buyers who saved their own down payment and got onto the property ladder. - People still working towards homeownership without a family financial safety net. - Newcomers to Canada navigating the housing market, especially those balancing saving for a home with supporting family abroad. I'm writing about this for a major Canadian personal finance website and would love to hear about the realities, challenges and strategies involved. If this sounds like you, please DM me. And if you know someone with a story to tell, I'd really appreciate you sharing this post with them. #sourcecallout #FirstTimeHomeBuyer #CanadianRealEstate #PersonalFinance

Connecticut Families Facing Housing Challenges - Policy Change

The Parent Leaders of the CT Parent Housing Table want to shine light on the experiences of Connecticut families facing housing challenges and bring those lived experiences into the public policy conversation. We are inviting Connecticut residents who have experienced challenges securing affordable, safe, and stable housing or accessing housing assistance to share their stories by responding to a series of interview questions. Stories will be compiled into video segments and shared with the broader community, elected officials, and housing leaders across Connecticut ahead of November’s elections. The goal is to help policymakers hear directly from residents, so they can better understand the real-life impact of Connecticut’s housing systems, and consider opportunities for change. We want to hear not only about the challenges you experienced, but also what could have been different. What policies, programs, resources, or other changes could have made it easier for you and your family to access housing or the assistance you needed? Participants will receive interview questions, recording guidelines, and helpful tips to make sharing your story as easy and comfortable as possible. Your experience matters. Your voice matters. Your story can help shape the conversation about housing in Connecticut. By bringing lived experiences directly into the conversation, we hope this project will inform community dialogue and contribute to legislative discussions and decisions during the 2027 legislative session. If you or someone you know would like to participate, please complete the form below. Once you sign up, you’ll receive information about next steps, recording guidance, and project @updates.

Scientists in Russian Far East - Research Priorities & Military Ties

Russia wants to attract more scientists. But what kind of research does it actually want them to do? In September 2026, Vladimir Putin proposed a special programme to attract Russian and foreign researchers to the Russian Far East. The government was asked to consider housing, relocation allowances, and support for scientists' families. At first glance, it sounds like an initiative to develop regional science. But there's another side to this story. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the relationship between scientific research and the military-industrial complex has become an increasingly important question. Universities and research institutions are operating in a country where defense production is a major state priority, international scientific cooperation has been severely disrupted, and researchers face growing political pressures. The Russian Far East is particularly interesting in this context. The region is home to major defense manufacturers, while some local universities and research institutions already collaborate with military-industrial enterprises or work on technologies with both civilian and military applications. But does this mean the new initiative is intended to support military research? Not necessarily. And that's precisely what I'm trying to investigate. I'm currently working on an article for T-invariant, speaking with researchers and experts on Russian science policy and defense technology, examining existing university-industry partnerships, and trying to understand how scientific priorities have changed since 2022. What interests me most is not simply whether scientists will move to the Far East, but what kind of research environment awaits them. Who will determine their research priorities? How much independence will they have? And what happens to fundamental science when technological development becomes increasingly tied to state and military interests? I think these questions deserve far more attention than the promises of housing and financial incentives. More to come once the article is published. #SciencePolicy #AcademicFreedom #ScienceJournalism #Russia

Retirees Within 3 Years - Early Housing & Healthcare Cost Spike

I'm writing a retirement piece and am looking for people who had an unexpected spending spike early in the retirement, say the first three years of leaving work.

Ohio, Texas, Iowa & Maine Residents - Housing Affordability Midterms

Hi everyone, I'm working on a story about housing ahead of the midterm elections and am looking to speak with residents of Ohio, Texas, Iowa, and Maine. Decision Desk has identified these four states as toss-ups, so I just want to hear from average voters about what concerns they have around housing affordability and any adjacent housing issue - such as interest rates, data centers, etc. Again, not looking for experts, just hoping to find some people who are living in these states who might want to talk about what's on their minds with regards to housing affordability. Thanks so much!

Deaf People in UK - Organisation Failures Affecting Health & Rights

HOW MANY TIMES CAN AN ORGANISATION FAIL A DEAF PERSON BEFORE SOMEONE FINALLY HOLDS THEM ACCOUNTABLE? I want to ask Deaf people across the UK something important. What is the most shocking experience you've had with an organisation because you're Deaf? Not just an inconvenience. I mean experiences that have genuinely affected your health, safety, finances, employment, independence, dignity or basic human rights. Perhaps a bank made it impossible to access your own money because you couldn't use the telephone. A hospital failed to provide a BSL interpreter when you desperately needed to understand what was happening to your health. A government department, local council or public service repeatedly ignored your communication requirements. An employer denied you opportunities or refused reasonable adjustments. Or perhaps an airline, insurer, police force, university, housing provider or another organisation left you facing a barrier hearing people would never even have to consider. But here's what I REALLY want to know. WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU TRIED TO PUT IT RIGHT? Did you complain and get nowhere? Were you passed from department to department? Were you told there was no budget, no interpreter, no alternative or simply that it was company policy? Did someone apologise, promise improvements and then do absolutely nothing? Did you have to fight for months or even years? Or did you eventually give up because the process of challenging discrimination became another barrier itself? I especially want to hear about experiences that remain unresolved. And yes, I want to know the names of the organisations involved. Not just "a bank" or "a hospital". WHICH bank? WHICH NHS Trust? WHICH council? WHICH employer? WHICH company? Tell me: 1. WHO was the organisation? 2. WHAT happened, and how seriously did it affect you? 3. HOW did they respond when you challenged them? 4. IS IT STILL HAPPENING, despite your attempts to resolve it? If you have written complaints or evidence, please mention that too. You can comment or message me privately, including in BSL. Please avoid sharing sensitive personal information or naming individual staff publicly. I won't publish your personal account without your permission. I keep wondering how many Deaf people are fighting exactly the same battles against exactly the same organisations, unaware of each other. How many complaints have been closed without anything actually changing? How many organisations believe they're accessible simply because they have an accessibility policy? And how many Deaf people have stopped complaining, not because the problem was resolved, but because they were exhausted from fighting? That's what I want to understand. Please share this widely. I particularly want to hear from Deaf people whose experiences have never been taken seriously. Because a complaint being closed does not mean the discrimination has stopped. #DeafRights #BSL #Accessibility #DeafCommunity #DisabilityRights

Homeowners in MA & CA - Ballot Housing Measures & Market Impacts

I don't write much about politics these days, but housing affordability is such a serious issue now that it has become a political issue... so here I am writing about it. Across the nation, we're seeing the highest number of statewide housing-related measures on ballots in two decades. Some of them are run-of-the-mill stuff, but others are pretty innovative. Even controversial. In reporting the story, I got to talk to some interesting people -- from housing-policy experts to former state senators to a homebuilder. I really enjoy writing stories where I learn a ton of information at one go. It forces me to try to process that info and then translate all of that into simple, readable language that our readers can quickly understand. If you have a second, read the story -- esp. if you're in MA or CA. And if you have any ideas about any bright spots in the residential real-estate market, or you're seeing really heavy losses or really big drops in value, DM me! I'm all ears. https://lnkd.in/gH5S5YnB

Directors VPs & C-Level Execs - Past 12 Months Relocation Negotiation

Have you negotiated a corporate relocation in the past 12 months? I'd love to hear what you learned. I'm working on an article about negotiating corporate relocation, and I'm looking to hear from Director-, VP-, and C-level professionals who have recently negotiated a relocation package. Relocation packages can involve much more than moving expenses. I'm interested in the details candidates may not think to ask about until they're in the middle of a move. I'd love to learn about your experience, including: The money: Was your package a lump sum, reimbursement, or company-managed relocation? Were you able to negotiate the amount? The fine print: Was there a repayment clause if you left the company within a certain period? Did you negotiate those terms? The timing: When did you first ask about relocation during the interview process? At what point did you understand exactly what was covered—and what wasn't? The family factor: Were you able to negotiate support for a spouse's career, school enrollment, temporary housing, or other family needs? The unexpected: What do you wish you'd known or negotiated before accepting the offer? I'm especially interested in the things you wouldn't necessarily find in a company's relocation policy. What worked? What surprised you? What would you do differently? I'd love to send you a few questions by email that you can answer on your own time. You can also contribute anonymously if you prefer. If you've been through this process recently and are willing to share your experience, please comment “RELOCATION” or send me a private message. I'd be grateful for your insights! I will be sharing what I learned in my newsletter (Career Briefs) And if you know someone who has recently negotiated a corporate relocation, please feel free to tag them.

Housing Analysts - Berkshire Stake in Lennar vs DR Horton

Berkshire Hathaway has built a stake of more than 11% in Lennar. It bought about $400 million of the homebuilder’s stock in the last two weeks of September and kept buying into October. Its most recent position in rival D.R. Horton amounts to a negligible $580,000. The firm’s decades-long strategy has been buying fundamentally strong businesses trading below their intrinsic value. Its latest round of Lennar buying began on Sept. 17, a day after the homebuilder reported that quarterly profit fell 52% to $284 million. Berkshire’s Lennar holdings are now worth just over $2 billion. I am looking to speak with analysts and experts in this space for a corporate strategy piece on the two companies. They have differing approaches towards a shaky customer based squeezed by affordability concerns. Please reach out if you have any tips!

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.

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?

Small & Medium Businesses in Europe Using Notion - Stories Of Impact

On a semi-personal professional note: I'm excited to share that I've joined Notion's Field Storytelling team! Based in Berlin this semester, I'll be telling the stories of small and medium-sized businesses all around Europe. From biotech and fashion to manufacturing and coffee, I'm on the hunt for stories worth sharing and voices that deserve the spotlight. Going from power user to Campus Leader to now telling stories powered by Notion feels like a dream. I hope these stories show what building something impactful actually looks like, the hands-on work and the people behind it that usually don't make it online. There's so much attention on the flashy AI companies right now (no shade), but I want to put some of that spotlight on the impact-driven teams that are making medicine cheaper or tackling the housing crisis. So if you run or work at a small or medium-sized business in Europe that uses Notion, I'd love to hear from you :) And if you know one, tag them below! (ps. photo taken a year ago at Notion @Seoul)

Futurists, AI Researchers & Tech Builders - Visions Trade-Offs Ethics

A recurring theme I’ve noticed is that it’s really difficult to imagine the future. It’s easy to dismiss an idea … who would want that? Or decide it’s too complicated; it's something I can think about later. I’ve experienced this throughout my tech career. When I was a student studying computer science, over two decades ago, there were actually people telling me what was coming. I just didn’t have the foresight to understand what it would mean. A friend told me his supervisor had said that, in the future, every phone would have the internet. Another friend, who was really into mobile phones, told me that phones would eventually become like mini computers, with something called “apps” that would let you do things on your phone. One of my friends used machine learning for a university project. Her program had to run all night. My dissertation was about finding the shortest route between two points. Google Maps existed, but I remember it being much more like a digital map. I remember thinking that one day it would probably be able to work out the shortest route for you. Looking back, these things seem obvious. They weren’t obvious to me then. And I think that’s the interesting thing about the future. Even when we’re told what’s coming, it can be incredibly difficult to imagine how profoundly it might change the world around us. And we’re doing it again. Except this time, the stakes feel much higher. I’ve been speaking to people about the future and asking what kind of world they want to live in. They talk about climate change. Wealth inequality. Housing. Job opportunity. Peace. So the question I keep coming back to is: What does a better future for everyone actually look like? I want to speak to the people who are shaping what comes next — the people building, researching and thinking about the future. What are they trying to achieve? What kind of trade-offs are they making, and what kind of ethical questions are they asking themselves? I want to have deep conversations about what’s coming, what it could mean for us, and how we might stir ourselves towards building something better.

Tax Notes recently published an investigation into the tiny-home tax strategy boosted by Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. We want to keep reporting.

You can reach me confidentially on Signal at TaxNotesLauren.33, by phone at 347-731-3183, or via email at [email redacted]. You can reach my colleague Chandra Wallace via Signal at chandra.04 (925-360-2256).

Residents Living With Damp in Cornwall - Personal Stories

I have what often appears to people as an unusual mix of careers - artist and plumber. But this pairing frequently presents ways to interweave both pathways of my skills and knowledge. I’m very glad to say I’ve been awarded an Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grant to begin new research and artwork focusing on damp. Living with it, navigating it, and looking at how it finds its way in to our homes and workplaces. We live in a humid environment, especially in Cornwall, and much of our housing stock is ill equipped to cope with this. Whether this be poor design, the use of lower quality materials and builds, or years of maintenance and renovation work that didn't quite understand the existing building fabric and the need for buildings to breathe (I'm talking to you concrete render!). As well as being detrimental to our health and our emotional wellbeing, damp can be overwhelming to deal with, costly, and deeply shaming. I know this well from living, often precariously, in a variety of situations affected by damp. From terraced basements and seaside winter-lets, to cob cottages and concrete tower blocks, damp has lurked and lingered in most of the situations I have called home. I'm excited that for this new project I’m able to combine my plumbing, heating and retrofit knowledge and my art practice, coaching, and facilitation expertise to find out more more about how damp affects us, and what the barriers are to resolving damp issues. The ACE funded period will culminate with an exhibition at Auction House, Redruth, and a series of film screenings at University of Reading, Exeter Phoenix, and MIRROR at Arts University Plymouth. As part of this project I am hosting three public art and conversation workshops this Autumn: - ALMA Artspace, Newquay on Saturday 26th September, 2-4pm | book here: https://lnkd.in/eXBd2CSv - Musuem of Cornish Life, Helston on Thursday 22nd October 11-1 | book here: https://lnkd.in/erUcGFJK - Kresen Kernow, Redruth on Thursday 5th November 11-1 | book here: https://lnkd.in/eVtRHs2p If you have a personal story about living with damp that you'd like to contribute to my research I'd love to hear from you, please do get in touch. #damp #kernowlife #moisture #retrofit #housing

Expats in Germany - Navigating Healthcare Housing & Bureaucracy

🎙️ EXPatio – Your Home Away From Home Moving to another country for work is about much more than finding a job and a place to live. It means learning how a new country works—healthcare, insurance, taxes, banking, housing, schools, bureaucracy, culture, language, and everyday life. And often, nobody tells you how to navigate these things. That’s why I’m starting Expatio—Your Home Away From Home, a new podcast series in English, created for international professionals and their families moving to a new country—with a particular focus on Germany and Europe. Each episode will focus on one practical topic, bringing together specialists, professionals, and people with lived experience. We’ll talk about: 🔹 Public & private healthcare, emergency rooms & hospitalization 🔹 Insurance: liability, home, belongings, bicycle, car & legal protection 🔹 German bureaucracy & administration 🔹 Banking, personal finance, loans & German taxes 🔹 Housing: short-, medium-, and long-term rentals & buying a home 🔹 Kindergarten & school: onboarding, communication, grading & the public education system 🔹 Language, culture & communication 🔹 Building community and social connections 🔹 Daily life and the things nobody explains before you move And many more topics along the way. 💬 I’m looking for experts and people with real-life experience who would like to join these conversations and share practical knowledge, mistakes, solutions, and lessons learned. Because sometimes the best information doesn’t come from a handbook. It comes from someone who has already been there. 🎧 A little background Before Expatio, I created two seasons of a podcast in Romanian, featuring conversations and stories about Romanians living away from home. Some episodes also have English subtitles. 🎙️ You can find the first two seasons here: https://lnkd.in/d9TRtm_x Expatio is the next step: from personal stories to practical conversations that can make starting a new life abroad a little easier. 🎙️ Expatio – Your Home Away From Home Real conversations. Practical knowledge. A better start in a new country. If you have expertise, experience, or a topic you think we should discuss—I'd love to hear from you. And if you know someone who should be part of this conversation, tag them or send them my way. 🇬🇧 EXPatio – Your Home Away From Home A new English-language podcast for international professionals and their families navigating life after relocating to a new country—starting with Germany and Europe. Real conversations. Practical knowledge. A better start in a new country. #Expatio #YourHomeAwayFromHome #Relocation #Expats #Germany #InternationalProfessionals #ExpatLife #LifeInGermany #Integration

AZ NV CA Realtors & Mortgage Pros - Water Cuts & Underwriting Risk

#sourcerequest: I'm looking for real estate agents/brokers in the West (Arizona, Nevada or California) where drastic water cuts have been implemented due to the Colorado River's reduced levels for an interview about how these issues may impact housing demand and home prices in the near future.
