deal life
I deal in volume. To sell volume, it must be affordable. So that's my whole life, is to make it affordable.
education
Chabad is very important because without Jewish education, Diaspora Jewry would disappear.
A developer who is not optimistic shouldn't be a developer.
comparing shop
I don't think I have to combat Airbnb. It is like comparing Tiffany to a shop that sells things for one dollar.
airbnb clear found level looked lower market offering pay points prepared tested
We looked into and tested the Airbnb website and found the inquiries generated were at price points substantially lower than the market is prepared to pay us directly. It was clear that there were no real synergies between the level of our offering and what Airbnb clientele is looking for.
employ maybe
I employ thousands of people, maybe 5,000 or 6,000. In my mind, they are all doing well. Because if they are not doing well in their minds, I'm not as strong as I could be.
buy market money
This is a lifetime job. You don't look at it, you know, now and then. It doesn't really matter. When the market comes down, then I buy my land very cheaply, so I make my money on that.
