Urban development is continuing to change especially as millennials are moving. In our first article, we see this change and the effect that it has had on US cities today. We then take a step back and look at a caveat to this observation: could this be another result of the media glorifying reality? Following this, we look at Bloomberg Business’s article on the changing perspective of apartment investors. We then take a look at a developer who took recycling from trash to real estate. Finally, we take a look at a heat-warming story of people across the nation helping the homeless.
