News for February 1, 2014 - Name Change

Written By H. Pike Oliver

Please click here, or on the image, to access the Land Use and Real Estate virtual newspaper for Saturday, February 1, 2014. Today, I am changing the name of this virtual newspaper to Land Use and Real Estate. I began with the former URBANEXUS name because  I was interested in all things urban.  I owned the name as a domain name and the fit seemed logical. I now realize that while the scope is broad, most of the articles that appear here focus on land use and various aspects of real estate development or redevelopment. The new name reflects more accurately what this virtual newspaper is about. That is my reasoning and I am sticking to it--for now.
