We keep things mysterious at @BluebookCities, but I want to give you a look at what we& #39;re building:
The deca-trillion dollar urban living market is going through a moment of profound change.

Today, people move to cities to participate in labor markets.
20th Century cities are atomized, lonely, and poorly run.
We can do better, and we will.

We can do better, and we will.
Tomorrow, we will move to cities for community, shared values, and common cause.
COVID accelerated this timeline by migrating the labor market from the city to the cloud.
Labor markets no longer bind cities.
Now, our jobs follow us wherever we go. https://www.businessinsider.com/san-francisco-lost-89000-households-during-pandemic-usps-data-2020-12">https://www.businessinsider.com/san-franc...

NEOM — the Saudi Arabian new city project — attracted $500B.
And many billionaires are developing new city projects, in public or in quiet.

Our vision @BluebookCities is to rethink urban living at gigascale with new cities.
To underwrite city projects at a deca-billion dollar scale, we must derisk demand.
Now, we working day and night to scale the demand engine that unlocks the future of cities.

In brief, the @BluebookCities playbook:
1. Build a community-first demand engine for new cities
2. Prove our demand thesis by monetizing that demand in existing cities
3. Leverage our demand and capital to build the future of cities
