Over the summer, Florida’s Broward County Public Schools made the decision to ban students from using cellphones and other communication devices for the entire school day. It's a particularly sensitive topic in Broward County after the 2018 Parkland shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which is in the district. Carline Dumoulin, a mother of two students at Broward’s Cypress Bay High School, is one of those signatories. Broward County school board member Debra Hixon was present at the meeting where the rule was approved, but had left before the vote. Last year, a video of several students fighting at West Broward High School circulated online, gaining thousands of views on X.

Build-to-rent communities skip the intermediary and go straight to the homebuilder. While typical single-family rental strategies, pioneered by Blackstone in the aftermath of the Great Recession, are inherently tied to the housing market, build-to-rent is not. In the eyes of private equity, there's no difference between build-to-rent communities and apartment blocks. If you value Cypress Bay as an apartment building, instead of a collection of homes, Fundrise got a good deal. Fundrise is still working on deals, Miller said, with a deal pipeline stretching out to 2025.

(foto) Un cuplu de canadieni timp de 20 de ani și-a construit „casa-insulă”Artiștii Wayne Adams și Catherine King petrec zile întregi în sânul naturii. Wayne și Catherine spun că acest golfuleț a fost aruncat, în urma scurgerii apei, pe Cypress Bay în Tofino, Columbia Britanică, ceea ce le-a permis să interacționeze cu natura fără a interveni în „creatura” ei. „Noi ne trăim viața într-un mod în care păstrăm mediul într-o stare sănătoasă și facem tot posibilul ca să trăim conștiincios în fiecare zi”, spune King. „Golfulețul Liber” este o evadare timp de mai mult de 20 de ani și nu e finisat încă. Wayne și Catherine continuă să creeze noi piese pentru a face un puzzle spectaculos.
