Join us this week on this week's Real Finds Podcast with Brad Biehl as we delve into the critical importance of urbanism for investors. Urbanism isn't just about government policies or academic theories; it's about understanding how individuals interact with their environment—a key factor for real estate entrepreneurs aiming to build and maintain profitable developments. Brad Biehl sheds light on how urbanism goes beyond big cities and dense environments to encompass creating walkable neighborhoods and improving transportation options. Discover how removing parking and fostering walkable areas can benefit businesses by attracting more customers and boosting economic activity. In our conversation, we explore the debate between buses and light rail, examining the costs, infrastructure needs, and community preferences. Brad highlights the concept of livable design, the financial and health benefits of alternative transportation, and addresses NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) issues. He emphasizes the importance of offering diverse transportation choices and provides strategies for creating more walkable and transit-friendly communities.
