Fewer of these, please. iStock/Thinkstock It's possible to get rich if your business only caters to rich people. But it's hard to have a massive and really successful industry in the United States today if you only cater to rich people. There are only so many people in the country with good credit and lots of cash sitting around. And this week, we got evidence that one of America’s largest industries may be running into trouble because its products appeal only to the upper crust. I’m not talking about jewelry or apparel. I’m talking about housing. On Tuesday, luxury homebuilder Toll Brothers reported a blow-out quarter, noting that contracts and sales were up 20 percent from the year before, and said it might sell more than 2,500 homes in the upcoming quarter. Advertisement On Wednesday, the Census Bureau announced that new home sales in July were down 9.4 percent from June, and down 8.9 percent from July 2016. On Thursday, the National Association of Realtors reported t...

Jorge M. Perez and his Related Group are bullish on Tampa Bay. How bullish? Some $350 million worth. That's how much the Miami-based company has invested so far in the area, particularly in the city of Tampa. "We love cities, and this is a can-do city," says Perez, who founded Related in 1979 and built it into one of the nation's largest real estate conglomerates . PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Related Group breaks ground on complex at old Tampa Tribune site Perez was in Tampa on Wednesday for the official groundbreaking of Manor Riverwalk, Related's 400- unit luxury apartment project where the Tampa Tribune once stood; and a visit to the site of Town Westshore, where Related plans 396 apartments in the Westshore Marina District near the Gandy Bridge. The company also expects to start construction in September on the 368-unit Icon St. Petersburg in the city's Edge District, and is lead developer on Tampa's $750- million West River redevelopment .

Earlier this month, Skift published a comprehensive look at Airbnb’s Road to an IPO, or initial public offering on the stock market. While the story primarily focused on all of the many things the company is doing (and needs to do) as it pursues that inevitable IPO, it wasn’t necessarily a story about what it takes for a company like Airbnb to go public. Indeed, what Airbnb is doing right now in its efforts to become a “super brand of travel,” or a new breed of online travel agency (OTA), speaks to the very future of travel. Already, we’ve seen the company expand into tours and activities with the November launch of its Trips business, adding to its already robust 4-million-listing- strong Homes business . CEO Brian Chesky has also hinted the company may soon enter the flights sector as well. It’s a glimpse of what we as travelers can expect to see and to experience in the next few years as platforms like Airbnb continue to evolve and to attempt to solve the many pain points we st...

Each 10 percent increase in Seattle rents leads to 523 more people becoming homeless. Pictured here someone living in one of Nickelsville’s sites. Nickelsville is an encampment run by and for homeless people in Seattle that seeks to provide a safe place for people to stay. In 2015, the homelessness crisis in Seattle was declared by Mayor Ed Murray to have reached a “state of emergency” severe enough to prompt him to request support from the federal government. Two years later, homelessness in the Emerald City is still on the rise as rents across the city and nearby towns continue to soar. The cost of rent in Seattle and the surrounding King County area has exploded in recent years. While luxury condominiums have never been more plentiful, affordable housing that is accessible to working people is difficult to find. According to data compiled by the real estate website Zillow , the average cost of renting a home in King County has risen approximately $800 since September of 2012....

The best restaurant cookbooks are like time capsules, preserving a moment, a feeling. That’s what this year’s stack of restaurant- focused books achieves — with variable levels of success. Don’t miss chef Wylie Dufresne ’s look back at wd~50 or the new two-volume set from NYC’s highly lauded experiential dining room Eleven Madison Park . Casual restaurants, from the Publican in Chicago to Juhu Beach Club in Oakland, also got the book treatment this year. Each collection stands alone as a testament to the hard work of a team pushing for one pristine goal. Cheers to the Publican: Recipes and Ramblings from an American Beer Hall Paul Kahan, Cosmo Goss, Rachel Holtzman Lorena Jones Books, September 19 Starting with the first time I ate at there, shortly after its opening in 2008, the Publican has been my favorite restaurant. It was an instantaneous love — the room, the food, a swirling feeling of commensality and broad-shouldered abundance. So for me, the promise of this book, Cheers t...
