  • Facebook and Amazon are so big they’re creating their own company towns — here’s the 200-year history

    Business Insider – Retail

    Mega-corporations — from Facebook to Amazon — are creating modern-day company towns. In Menlo Park, California, Facebook plans to build a new campus with 1,500 residences, a walkable retail district, a grocery store, and a hotel for its employees. Meanwhile, Amazon recently announced that it will build a second headquarters that could effectively turn the chosen city into a company town — much like what happened to Seattle when the online retail giant came to Seattle in the late 1990s. Dubbed HQ…

  • FivePoint CEO weighs in on Amazon HQ2 battle,…

    Orange County Register Real Estate

    Maybe Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is simply looking for a commercial real estate bargain. Maybe Amazon’s very public search for a second company headquarters is a bit of corporate grandstanding. Maybe the man who helped change the way we shop is actually seeking new ways for corporations and their workers to do business.

  • Is The Value Of Your Data Just A Social Construct?

    Duke Long Blog

    Alright, I'm going to get a bit deep but it has a purpose. Stay with me people. As I say about a thousand times it started with a conversation. Of course, it was with Vishu the CEO of Buildout. He and I get deep on a few things, of which the most compelling topic is 16-inch softball (or Pillow Ball) and the art of pitching. Maybe that's for another day. For some reason, we got onto the topic of money and values of currency. It wandered into a value of certain items and how we see a val…

  • Orange County has what Amazon wants

    Orange County Register Real Estate

    When Amazon announced its plans for a second North American headquarters, cities throughout the country began to salivate over the prospect of becoming its home — and they should. An investment of $5 billion locally, adding 50,000 new jobs with average salaries in the six-figure range would be transformational for any community. It’s no wonder that so many luminaries in Orange County are wildly optimistic about the prospect of Amazon HQ2 moving here, and are beginning to mobilize to submit a bid…

  • Walmart and Home Deliveries (without you being home)

    Geek Estate Blog

    A few minutes after I published my post on Smart Homes, I saw the news that Walmart is testing in-home delivery of packages and groceries (TechCrunch). That means you don't need to be home when the delivery happens, and the products are left inside your home rather than left on the doorstep for a thief to snatch.

  • Tesla wants to build ‘mega supercharging’ stops that sell food and coffee (TSLA)

    Business Insider – Finance

    Tesla wants to take the tedium out of the charging experience by turning its stops into convenience stores. Tesla owners already have it pretty good when it comes to juicing up their vehicles. Customers can drive to one of the companies' many Supercharger stations and be back on the road in just 30 minutes. Most electric-car owners need to set aside at least an hour, making an overnight charge in the garage the best option. Still, 30 minutes is a long time for anyone who is used to the conv…
