Navigating Multifamily CRE in a Volatile Environment Insights from Paul Fiorilla, Director of U.S. Research at Yardi Matrix Paul Fiorilla offers a data-driven view of today's commercial real estate (CRE) landscape using the vast resources he has at his disposal at Yardi. While market sentiment may be growing more optimistic, Fiorilla acknowledges investors should separate short-term mood from long-term fundamentals. His perspective, rooted in close analysis of multifamily data and macro conditions, is both pragmatic and cautionary: yes, there's capital on the sidelines and deals are getting done but many investors may be misreading the durability of recent tailwinds and underestimating latent risks. Short-Term Confidence, Long-Term Industry Real estate is an inherently long-term, illiquid asset class yet, much of the current market behavior appears to be anchored in short-term confidence (and short term memories). That dissonance should give investors pause. While macroeconomic shocks like tariffs, interest rate hikes, and political uncertainty do not immediately register in quarterly CRE data, their effects compound over time. Investor sentiment, meanwhile, remains buoyant. Debt markets have resumed activity, stock indices are back near prior highs, and many assume the worst is behind us. But the lagging nature of real estate data means we're still months away from fully seeing the impacts of recent fiscal and geopolitical developments. Multifamily Fundamentals: A Shifting Landscape Fiorilla addresses the fundamentals of the multifamily sector, noting that demand has remained strong in recent years, but the distribution of that demand is shifting. Rent growth is no longer universal. Over the past 15 months, metros in the Midwest and Northeast, markets like Chicago and New York, have consistently posted moderate, steady rent growth. In contrast, high-growth Sunbelt cities such as Austin, Atlanta, Nashville, and Salt Lake City are experiencing flat to negative rent trends. What's driving this bifurcation is primarily supply. In oversupplied markets, absorption hasn't kept pace with new deliveries. Despite a sharp national decline in starts, down approximately 40% year-over-year, the existing pipeline remains heavy. Nationally, over 1.2 million units are either in lease-up or under construction. In high-growth markets, deliveries will continue at elevated levels for the next several years. Some cities may see 12–15% added to their multifamily inventory by 2027. Fiorilla underscores that while national numbers suggest a tapering of supply, the local realities are more complex. Markets that arguably need more housing, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago for example, are seeing similar slowdowns in new development as oversaturated markets. The result is a continued misalignment between where capital is building and where it's most needed. The Waning Tailwinds of Demand Fiorilla also points to softening demand drivers that may soon undermine current assumptions. Over the past several years, demand has been supported by several powerful tailwinds: robust job growth, high immigration, and pandemic-era trends such as household formation and suburban relocation. But these are now tapering. Net immigration, while still meaningful, is slowing. Job growth has begun to decelerate. Moreover, federal employment cuts and delays in private-sector hiring – driven by political and fiscal uncertainty – are contributing to a weakening outlook for household formation. These are not necessarily signs of imminent distress, but they do suggest that the extraordinary absorption rates of 2021–2022 will be difficult to sustain. As Fiorilla puts it, “the risks are to the downside.” He's not forecasting a collapse but cautions against overreliance on recent performance when underwriting future deals, particularly in light of ongoing supply pressure. Policy Risk and the Fragility of Subsidized Housing Among the more underappreciated risks in the market, Fiorilla emphasizes policy risk, especially in affordable and subsidized housing. He notes that while programs like LIHTC and Opportunity Zones appear safe, others such as Section 8 are under pressure. Of particular concern are proposals to convert these programs into state-administered block grants. While this may seem like a technocratic shift, it would represent a material change for property owners. Federal guarantees would be replaced by varying state-level funding regimes, increasing payment risk and reducing the predictability that underpins underwriting in the subsidized housing sector. For owners reliant on these programs, even modest payment disruptions could be “catastrophic,” he notes. Interest Rate Volatility: The Real Pain Point Turning to capital markets, Fiorilla distinguishes between the level of interest rates and the pace at which they change. Today's rates, he argues, are not historically high. Pre-GFC, rates were often at similar levels. What's destabilizing is the speed of change. A sharp increase from near-zero to 4–5% within a single year has impaired refinancing feasibility and upended underwriting assumptions. This volatility, not the rates themselves, has created most of the current distress. Borrowers facing refinancing at double or triple the prior coupon are under strain. And yet, transaction activity persists, with many deals still pricing at thin or even negative leverage. Why? Because the #1 driver of compressed cap rates is investor confidence in future cash flows. The belief that rents will continue to rise justifies aggressive pricing – until it doesn't. This mindset echoes pre-GFC sentiment, where rent growth was taken as a given. Fiorilla is quick to clarify that today's market is not nearly as reckless. Still, elevated pricing in an environment of cooling fundamentals could leave investors dangerously exposed to even mild shocks. Quiet Distress and the Maturity Wall Another issue masked by short-term optimism is the growing volume of loan maturities. These include both regularly scheduled maturities and loans previously extended during 2021–2023 that are now reaching their end. Fiorilla notes that many of these are being addressed quietly. Lenders, reluctant to force asset sales, are working with borrowers on a case-by-case basis. The result: distress is real, but it's largely invisible. There's little evidence of forced portfolio liquidations or widespread delinquencies – yet. The availability of capital, particularly for multifamily, is helping to buffer these pressures. There's no shortage of dry powder. But absent a sharp rate reversal or improved clarity from policymakers, the sector could see a slow bleed of marginal deals rather than a systemic reset. Underappreciated Geopolitical Risk One of the most thought-provoking parts of the conversation concerns CRE's growing sensitivity to global and political dynamics. This is a structural change. The U.S. has long benefited from its role as a stable, rule-of-law jurisdiction. But shifts in foreign policy, trade restrictions, and political dysfunction are beginning to weigh on foreign investment. Declining Canadian cross-border investment and tighter restrictions on visa travel are, in part, evidence of this shift. These aren't headline stories but they are meaningful. If the U.S. loses its perception as a reliable haven for capital, CRE pricing could face downward pressure from shrinking foreign demand. This is a long-term trend worth monitoring closely, not a transitory blip. What He's Watching When asked what indicators he watches most closely, Fiorilla points to three primary metrics: Occupancy Rates – Particularly in high-supply markets. Stabilized occupancy below 94% would be an early warning sign. Absorption Trends – A sustained drop in household formation or leasing activity could signal weakening demand. Employment Data – Job losses, especially if broad-based, would ripple into rent growth and occupancy. He also monitors transaction volume as a proxy for investor confidence. If deal flow freezes again, that would signal a recalibration of forward expectations. Final Reflection While Fiorilla resists giving investment advice, his closing thoughts reflect a conservative posture. He's not sitting on the sidelines entirely but he's not rushing in either. Caution, portfolio balance, and realistic expectations are the guiding principles. For CRE professionals, this conversation is a reminder to look past sentiment and dig into the data and the fundamentals: local supply pipelines, policy shifts, interest rate trends, and the fragility of assumptions underpinning future rent growth. The macro backdrop is far from stable and the margin for error, even in multifamily, may be thinner than it appears. *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.

A system that grows stronger from chaos? That's not science fiction. It's nature's original design. Nassim Taleb's Antifragile isn't just a book. It's a lens—a way to see the world not as a series of risks to be avoided, but as opportunities to evolve. In this episode, we explore what it means to thrive in disorder. From ancient myths like the Hydra, to modern jobs and biological systems, we trace the pattern: fragility is punished, antifragility is rewarded. What if you built a life where setbacks made you better, not bitter? Where unpredictability wasn't a threat, but a catalyst? That's the shift we're inviting you to make. Takeaways: Design your systems to gain from shocks, not just resist them. Embrace small failures—they prevent catastrophic ones. Seek environments where your upside grows with uncertainty. WORKSHOP - Building certainty in an uncertain world
With only raw materials, could you recreate a toaster? Now could you do it considering the source of your materials, the effect extracting them has on the world, along with the use and inevitable destruction of it. This episode's guest did just that. Starting with the extraction of the materials, including learning 15th century techniques for smelting, created a toaster. Reflecting upon that project in today's world, is the topic of this episode. Where we dive into the philosophy of design needing a refresh in todays world in order to live in better harmony with our reality. Thomas Thwaites, Artist and Designer, joins me for this conversation. Check out his website for all of his projects, his TED talk and the project he's currently working on, a harmless car.

Are you hungry for God? This weekend Pastor Steve Andres continued our (Re)Formation series with a message about fasting.Matthew 6:17-18But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.Fasting is a choice to deny myself something good (food) in order to focus on something better (God). Most Christians in most places in most times have prioritized fasting. Why?1) Fasting gives me FOCUS.Fasting nurtures my appetite for God above other appetites in my life. It helps me focus on what God is saying and doing in my life and world.2) Fasting reminds me of my FRAGILITY.When we are denied something as small and commonplace as food, we are reminded of our weakness and dependence on God's faithfulness. 3) Fasting helps me heed God's GUIDANCE.When we sense we have arrived at an inflection point, we choose to fast because it sharpens our spiritual senses.4) Fasting is a way of embodying REPENTANCE.When I need to turn to God and grieve for sin, fasting is a way of experiencing that in my body, emotions and spirit.5) Fasting shows SOLIDARITY in pain.Jesus assumes his disciples will fast simply because the world is filled with pain and brokenness. It is good to fast in solidarity with those who are suffering, and to pray for help and relief from their pain.WHEN WE FOLLOW JESUS WE HAVE A REASON TO FAST.WHEN WE FOLLOW JESUS WE HAVE A REASON TO FEAST.Just as the sin and brokenness of our world calls us to fast, the rescuing love of God is a reason to feast. Both practices strengthen our sense of God at work in our world!

In this episode, I sit down with Gina, an older detransitioner with a compelling story that spans decades. We delve into her journey, beginning with her childhood experiences of gender dysphoria in the 1970s, her eventual transition in her 50s, and her decision to detransition in 2023. Gina shares her early crush on a girl and how that shaped her understanding of her identity, leading her to believe she needed to become a boy to express her feelings.We explore the complexities of her transition, including the overwhelming effects of testosterone on her sex drive and how it altered her sexual orientation, making her attracted to men for the first time. Gina reflects on the societal pressures surrounding gender and beauty, and how her past experiences of trauma influenced her decisions. We also discuss the impact of her identity on her relationship with her daughter, highlighting the importance of communication and understanding in parenting. Throughout our conversation, we aim to unpack the nuances of identity, the role of societal expectations, and the emotional turmoil that can accompany such profound life changes.In 1970, at the age of ten, Gina traversed a hill to the neighboring ranch to confess to her friend that she was supposed to be a boy. Forty years later, she “transitioned.” After thirteen years of living as a “trans-man,” she had an awakening that inspired her to begin detransitioning. Now in radical acceptance of her womanhood, she is recovering. Gina's goal is to create a healing space in the country for female detransitioners, crossing a different kind of hill this time, to a new ranch.

It's tempting to see ourselves as damaged or powerless—defined by past traumas, overwhelming emotions, and daily struggles. But is that really the most helpful way to understand ourselves? Does seeing ourselves as victims lead to growth? Psychologist and author Scott Barry Kaufman joins us to examine how popular narratives around sensitivity, self-esteem, and emotional regulation may be holding us back. He unpacks the psychological costs of coddling (vs. empowerment), the rise of risk aversion, and how modern parenting, education, and therapy shape our sense of self. With insight, empathy, and humor, Kaufman offers a timely look at what it really takes to build resilience, choose meaning over comfort, and unlock the full potential of the human spirit. Scott Barry Kaufman is a cognitive psychologist who is among the top 1% most cited scientists in the world for his groundbreaking research on intelligence, creativity, and human potential. He is the host of The Psychology Podcast, which has received more than 30 million downloads and is frequently ranked the #1 psychology podcast in the world. His new book is Rise Above: Overcome a Victim Mindset, Empower Yourself, and Realize Your Full Potential.

Tom welcomes back Tim Price, Director at Price Value Partners. The discussion begins around the importance of filtering information in today's overwhelming media landscape. He suggests turning off legacy media and instead seeking alternative sources like Substack or Twitter for deeper insights. Price warns against over-financialization and the risks it poses to economic stability, advocating for a return to fundamental principles such as value investing and staying within one's zone of competence. He highlights the current geopolitical chaos as a critical moment, noting similarities to past crises like the 1930s. Price critiques Keynesian economics, arguing that treating the economy as a machine fails to account for human behavior. He also discusses the collapse of trust in institutions, particularly after events like Brexit and the Trump presidency, which have led to increased skepticism among voters. Price underscores the role of gold as a reliable store of value during uncertain times, contrasting it with the speculative nature of cryptocurrencies. He advises investors to focus on long-term strategies, avoid getting spooked by short-term market fluctuations, and resist the urge to follow every financial fad. Price stresses the importance of emotional discipline in investing, referencing stoicism as a key trait for navigating volatile markets. He also touches on the destructive impact of unaccountability among elites, comparing it to historical precedents that led to societal destabilization.

Transcript:Da: Foråret bredte sig over Tisvilde Hegn.En: Spring spread over Tisvilde Hegn.Da: Skoven vågnede langsomt til live.En: The forest slowly came to life.Da: Træernes knopper krøb ud fra deres skaller, og små blomster vendte hovederne mod solen.En: The buds on the trees crept out of their shells, and small flowers turned their heads towards the sun.Da: Den friske brise bar en duft af nyfødte blade.En: The fresh breeze carried a scent of newborn leaves.Da: Freja og Jens vandrede ad en smal sti omkranset af majestætiske træer.En: Freja and Jens wandered along a narrow path surrounded by majestic trees.Da: Freja, med sit ivrige blik, gik foran Jens.En: Freja, with her eager gaze, led the way ahead of Jens.Da: Hun elskede disse ture.En: She loved these walks.Da: Naturen gav hende ro.En: Nature brought her peace.Da: Hun ville gennemføre den udfordrende rute, trods den underlige svimmelhed, hun havde følt de seneste dage.En: She wanted to complete the challenging route, despite the strange dizziness she had felt the past few days.Da: Jens, en ven med et godt hjerte, gik i hendes tempo, men hans øjne afslørede bekymring.En: Jens, a friend with a good heart, kept pace with her, but his eyes revealed concern.Da: "Freja, vi kan tage det roligt," foreslog Jens og spejdede efter en bænk, hvor de kunne hvile.En: "Freja, we can take it easy," suggested Jens, looking for a bench where they could rest.Da: Freja smilede over skulderen.En: Freja smiled over her shoulder.Da: "Åh, det går fint, Jens.En: "Oh, it's going fine, Jens.Da: Jeg har det godt.En: I'm okay."Da: "Men hendes krop stemte ikke overens med hendes ord.En: But her body didn't align with her words.Da: Hvert skridt blev sværere, og hendes puls hamrede i ørerne.En: Each step became harder, and her pulse pounded in her ears.Da: Alligevel insisterede Freja på at fortsætte.En: Nevertheless, Freja insisted on continuing.Da: Jens så på hende, klar til at påpege hendes bleghed, men han vidste, hvor stolt hun var.En: Jens looked at her, ready to point out her paleness, but he knew how proud she was.Da: De nåede en stejl sektion af stien.En: They reached a steep section of the path.Da: Udsigten var betagende.En: The view was breathtaking.Da: Kattegat blinkede i det fjerne som en blå juvel.En: The Kattegat sparkled in the distance like a blue jewel.Da: Pludselig stoppede Freja.En: Suddenly, Freja stopped.Da: Hun trak vejret tungt.En: She was breathing heavily.Da: Verden snurrede omkring hende.En: The world spun around her.Da: Før Jens kunne råbe hendes navn, sank hun ned på jorden.En: Before Jens could shout her name, she sank to the ground.Da: Jens styrtede frem.En: Jens rushed forward.Da: "Freja!En: "Freja!"Da: " Hans stemme var skarp.En: His voice was sharp.Da: Han knælede ved hendes side og ruskede blidt i hendes skuldre.En: He knelt by her side and gently shook her shoulders.Da: Hendes øjne flakkede op og mødte hans.En: Her eyes fluttered open and met his.Da: "Jeg.En: "I...Da: jeg har det ikke godt," hviskede hun endelig.En: I don't feel well," she finally whispered.Da: "Du skal ikke bekymre dig.En: "Don't worry.Da: Jeg er her," sagde Jens beroligende.En: I'm here," said Jens soothingly.Da: Han hjalp hende op og støttede hende, mens de langsomt gik tilbage mod stien, der førte hjemad.En: He helped her up and supported her as they slowly made their way back towards the path that led home.Da: På parkeringspladsen ventede en ambulance, der hurtigt kørte Freja mod det nærmeste hospital.En: In the parking lot, an ambulance was waiting, quickly transporting Freja to the nearest hospital.Da: Jens sad ved hendes side, hans bekymrede blik nu blandet med lettelse.En: Jens sat by her side, his concerned gaze now mixed with relief.Da: Freja klemte hans hånd.En: Freja squeezed his hand.Da: "Tak, Jens.En: "Thank you, Jens.Da: Jeg burde have lyttet til dig," indrømmede hun svagt.En: I should have listened to you," she admitted weakly.Da: Han klappede hendes hånd.En: He patted her hand.Da: "Det er okay, Freja.En: "It's okay, Freja.Da: Det vigtigste er, at du får det godt.En: The most important thing is that you get better."Da: "Freja nikkede træt, men beslutsom.En: Freja nodded tiredly but determinedly.Da: Dette var en lærestreg.En: This was a lesson.Da: Fremover ville hun lytte til sin krop og værdsætte sine venners omsorg.En: From now on, she would listen to her body and value her friends' care.Da: Hun havde lært, at der er styrke i at acceptere hjælp.En: She had learned that there is strength in accepting help.Da: Da solen gik ned over skovkanten, forlod den to venner med en styrket forbindelse og en ny forståelse for livet og dets skrøbelighed.En: As the sun set over the edge of the forest, it left two friends with a strengthened connection and a new understanding of life and its fragility.Da: I skovens dyb, hvor en tidlig forårsvind stadig bragte løfter om forandring, fandt Freja håb.En: In the depths of the forest, where an early spring wind still carried promises of change, Freja found hope.

The Celtics obliterated the Suns 132-102 in Phoenix, snatching their souls and sucking the life out of them in the process. Jayson Tatum actually took a night off and every one of his teammates rose to the occasion on both ends. The defense was great, the pace was great, the ball movement was great, the shooting was great, and outside of Kevin Durant, the Suns were pretty pathetic.

This episode provides a deep exploration of how Russia has been demonized through propaganda, focusing on the historical context beginning after World War II. The host discusses the development of GDP as an economic measure that facilitated military profit, NATO's role in global politics, and individual leaders' behaviors, particularly Zelensky's meeting with Trump. Historical Context of Russia's Demonization: Explores how propaganda has shaped perceptions of Russia, leading to the current proxy war and the geopolitical tensions surrounding the Trump-Zelensky meeting.GDP's Evolution: Traces the history of GDP as an economic measure, from its creation during the Great Depression to its role in modern economic policy and its limitations in capturing well-being.Eisenhower's Warning: Highlights President Eisenhower's 1961 farewell address, cautioning against the dangers of the military-industrial complex and its influence on government policy.Trump and Zelensky's MeetingZelensky's Behavior: Critiques Zelensky's body language and demeanor during the meeting, suggesting he may have been overconfident due to assurances from external forces or a sense of being a “savior.”Zelensky's Regret: Notes reports of Zelensky's regret over his approach and willingness to negotiate, emphasizing his dependence on American funding.Proxy War Dynamics: Points out that the U.S. has funded 70% of the Ukraine war, positioning Zelensky as reliant on American support for survival.Geopolitical and Cultural AnalysisEuropean Leadership and Feminine Energy: Criticizes European leaders for lacking strong masculine energy, describing Europe as a “feminine continent” with distorted energetics that undermine loyalty and stability.Russia's Strategic Position: Argues that a Russia-U.S. alliance would leave Europe vulnerable, as European leaders are seen as weak and indecisive.Spiritual and Cultural War: Links the decline of Christianity in Europe to a broader spiritual conflict, suggesting that radical Islam is being used to suppress the rise of 5D consciousness.Zelensky's Allies and FutureDependence on Female Allies: Highlights Zelensky's reliance on female leaders, whose support is seen as fickle and emotion-driven, leaving him vulnerable to shifting political tides.Europe's Disrespect for America: Critiques Europe's lack of respect for the U.S., despite cultural admiration, and predicts the eventual collapse of the relationship due to a lack of mutual understanding.Elon Musk and TranshumanismElon Musk's Role: Describes Musk as a transhumanist figure advancing civilization but lacking empathy and understanding of traditional family structures.Gamifying Life: Suggests Musk's ventures, like SpaceX and Mars colonization, are part of his effort to “gamify” human existence and explore what it means to be human.NOTES: https://open.substack.com/pub/davidblackmon/p/pie-chart-illustrates-europes-problem?r=1pz0vu&utm_medium=ios⚡️Frequency work, personal deprogramming, Sessions & WorkshopsGet started today visit taliemiller.com

White before Whiteness in the Late Middle Ages (Manchester University Press, 2024) by Dr. Wan-Chuan Kao analyses premodern whiteness as operations of fragility, precarity and racialicity across bodily and nonsomatic figurations. The book argues that while whiteness participates in the history of racialisation in the late medieval West, it does not denote skin tone alone. The 'before' of whiteness, presupposing essence and teleology, is less a retro-futuristic temporisation - one that simultaneously looks backward and faces forward - than a discursive figuration of how white becomes whiteness. Fragility delineates the limits of ruling ideologies in performances of mourning as self-defence against perceived threats to subjectivity and desire; precarity registers the ruptures within normative values by foregrounding the unmarked vulnerability of the body politic and the violence of cultural aestheticisation; and racialicity attends to the politics of recognition and the technologies of enfleshment at the systemic edge of life and nonlife. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

At some point, almost everyone hits a wall in their faith. The emotional highs don't last, the formulas stop working, and the deeper questions won't stay buried. Midlife, in particular, isn't just about aging—it's about confronting what's real, what's broken, and what needs to change. And if we're not careful, we settle for a faith that looks polished on the outside but leaves us spiritually depleted on the inside. That's why this conversation with Tim Ross is so crucial. Tim is known for his raw, unfiltered approach to faith and culture—challenging easy answers and pushing beyond surface-level spirituality. In this episode, we're diving deep into: Why spiritual formation in midlife requires a different approach than in your 20s and 30s. The right way to heal your nervous system—and why emotional and spiritual health are inseparable. Why curiosity and offense cannot coexist—and how learning to sit with discomfort leads to real transformation. The deceptive side of being ‘spiritual'—why some of the most "mature" believers are actually the most fragile. If you feel like your faith has stalled, if you're done chasing the next emotional high, or if you're wondering how to build true resilience in a culture addicted to outrage, this episode is for you. Listen now and start rethinking what real spiritual growth looks like. Episode Links Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here! Invite me to speak at your church or event.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Ellen Langer, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Harvard University and the world's leading researcher on the mind-body connection and the power our thinking has on our physical health. She explains how specific ways of framing and asking questions about the world shape our physical health and rate of aging. Dr. Langer also explains how our perception of time and control significantly impact our rate of physical healing, hormones, immune system, and longevity. She describes mindfulness as a way of framing life, not simply a meditation or other practice, and discusses data showing how to use one's mind to overcome health challenges and achieve remarkable outcomes. Dr. Langer is a luminary and pioneer in researching the relationship between the mind and body with scientific rigor. Her work and our discussion are applicable to women and men of all ages and walks of life. Read the full episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Gold has been soaring all of 2025 so far, reaching a new all-time high this past week as yet another major cyclical warning was triggered. Trade wars may account for some of the urgency, the real story is how in a world that's entirely artificial more in it desperately demand something real. It's getting easier to sort what's real from so much fakery.
