I hate the term real estate. It's cold and business-y, everything that tends to make me hide under the bed. What I write about is space: homes, cafes, places where you can do work, pet the cat, and Google your next-door-neighbor from 10 years ago. I write about places. And I like to do it from a personal perspective.

A new business model

Look. I can't be a comprehensive overseer of all that is RE (the thing formerly known as real estate and now goes by the RE symbol).

What I do much better is talk about what I know. Where that dovetails with RE will show up here.

Whaddya say?

A shout-out for the Prism Cafe!

Come visit this new Oakland hotspot! The Prism Cafe has yummy (and fair-trade) coffee, tasty snacks, and some seriously good panini ... I'm just finishing up mine right now.

Of course, I'm a little prejudiced ... I've been watching my friends create this place for more than a year. It looks beautiful, so if you're an Oaklander (or thereabouts) come check it out at 1918 Park Blvd., not far from the Merritt Bakery and Restaurant and the Parkway Theater.
