Eh, as a dev with family in real estate development, I can see why it hasn't. Zoning and building codes alone seem like an enormous impediment to scaling anything there.
I am in real estate development. I would be surprised to find out how software could help with the political aspect, which in my opinion l, is the most volatile and difficult part.
The politics can't really be addressed by software, true. However, much of development is actually process and project management with complicated non-intuitive workflows. I think there's potential for software to help. do something like - for a given municipality, what size building can I build under a specific set of planning assumptions, and what is the process for obtaining the necessary permits and approvals to build that building?

#223Real Estate Developer. Software should eat my industry. I find a bit of what I read here to be quite interesting.
What pain points do you see that can be helped by software? : )
See my response to lots of pulp above. Would be happy to chat about this further, if you are interested in doing a user needs interview.
