Let's talk about single family homes. When it comes to apartment rental-living, we've seen the full span of branded and "lifestyle-oriented" concepts come to fruition. Common, Sonder, Alfred, and most recently Nabr are all trying to respond to generational trends in multifamily living, with flexible leases, robust amenities, and a beautifully branded experience.
Why doesn't this exist for single family homes? Both rental and owned? Is the Apple of housing coming our way?

IDEA SPOTLIGHT
AI4HealthyCities
The Novartis Foundation and NewCities designed AI4HealthyCities Dialogues to accelerate collaborations between governments on digital innovations and health. Through AI4HealthyCities Dialogues, exchanges are catalyzed between global leaders in AI-driven urban health to identify those challenges and find common solutions. The first series of dialogues was pioneered by the Governments of Québec, Canada and São Paulo, Brazil. Together, they participated in a series of workshops to map priorities and challenges, using the findings to consolidate a set of practical recommendations and present a policy report for cities.
