destinations for work, trade, or education.

Building a Developer Community

Residents develop other “apps”: restaurants, bars, climbing gym, biotech labs, yoga studio, coffee shops, sports facilities, community gardens, movie theatre, performance theatre, day spa/hot-springs, retail, entertainment, gaming, etc. Get buy-in from residents before opening up a store (efficient free market with less risk). To solve the cold start problem, bring in large number of visitors every Fri/Sat to increase foot traffic to businesses.
