I ran SPBuzz from 2004 through 2019. It was a lot of work! I’m not sure to what degree I will bring it back, but I have significant perspectives to share with regard to SPC’s proposed Lobbies & Grounds Project, and some concrete grounds-related ideas I want to share. I also want to encourage and facilitate Candidates who want to make specific proposals and raise the level of discours about the issues we face. And finally, I want to republish a couple of presentations I produced in the wake of the failed 2018 Air Rights deal — don’t be fooled by the dates — these are very relevant to the questions we face today. Other than that, if you’re interested in participating or contributing to a new incarnation of SPBuzz, please let me know!

Not withstanding that the back-end of our co-op's information architecture is very complex, we should still expect far superior Shareholder-facing content on our portal. SPBuzz reviews all the content available on our portal and documents significant problems with it.
