We recently published a study on the podcast market based on Apple Podcasts [0]. I'm surprised by the numbers they claim as we see around a half of those numbers across Spotify and Apple, but we deduplicate them, so maybe that's w

I built a company in this space, so take my feedback with grain of salt. Your comment is not correct though. 1) licensing doesn't require them to have the system in place. In fact, YouTube created the system to avoid lawsuits and is im

That's right. I tend to negotiate less on the initial lease and negotiate more on its renewal as we prove that we are a valuable tenant (paying on time, low interaction, ...). Even when we lived in SF, where negotiations were almost im

I'm originally from Europe. I do like that I can negotiate better terms than the market, but I also acknowledge that this is not better system for everyone. The benefit of the US system is that higher rents create more incentive to pro

That’s correct. I’m ready to move. I found out that the pain is not as bad as it seems and I actually like moving. But even if you don’t like it, there is little to be lost. The worst they can do is to say no and then you pay whatever rate

If I'm not incorrect this doesn't apply to newer properties. Generally it introduces more complexity in the process so tenants can't easily share and get outraged by different rent levels, because everyone is "paying the

Thank you, that's a good context. In the building where we moved in 3 years ago from SF, they didn't offer any free rent at point as they were completely full. However, the larger point stand. Most building did offer around a mont

We just canceled our lease two weeks ago. We had a large apartment in one of the new high-rises in Downtown LA. The last offer was 3 months free and 2 parking spaces free if we stay for 12 month lease, which comes to 34% discount on the ren

We spent orders of magnitude of that and they still treated us poorly. The silver lining is that they at least don't discriminate based on the spend.

What I look for is behavior rather than verbal feedback. I know where I have hit spots in the presentation. If they don't react, then they are not as strong as I thought. If they react negatively, I know I didn't explain them well

You are of course correct. There will be a bottom and then a recovery. The speed of recovery will depend on how much liquidity will be available in the market. And I believe it’s going to be quite low. You see, all of these business depend
