AI makes basic software functionality easier to reproduce. Reliability, security, and integration still matter, but more products will clear those requirements—and need another reason for customers to choose them.

There is no such thing as a high-permitting, high-cost city. If you have demand and you aren’t permit-maxxing, you’re rent-maxxing.
