Honestly, not surprising! The unit economics of services like Sprig (and, to a lesser extent, DoorDash) are horrifyingly bad. If you've ever thought about starting a delivery service, this is a worthwhile read. They predicted Sprig's demise last year: https://medium.com/@review/the-food-delivery-death-star-85f9...

While I can't vouch for anything beyond Just Kids (which is spectacular), here are some other ferociously good reads on the lives of artists:
* Ernest Hemingway - A moveable feast
* David Lipsky - Of course you end up becoming yourself
* David Sylvester - Interviews with Francis Bacon

It's not supply. It's speculation.
>From 2000 to 2010, the population of New York increased by 2.1 percent while the US Census reported that the number of occupied housing units increased by more than twice that amount, 5.3 percent. . . . If we could build our way out of our affordability crisis, the ratio of housing costs to income should have gone down during this period. However, average rents and the share of income spent on rent both increased well above inflation over the same period. [0]

What skills does Biz have exactly? It always seemed like Ev was a product genius, Jack was the business brains, but Biz?
