The goal of The Foggiest Idea is to serve as a public resource for information on land use issues, available to all who are interested. The Foggiest Idea Inc. was founded to provide simple, easily approachable insights to the complex issues related to real estate development and environmental policy. In the years ahead, The Foggiest Idea Inc. will continue evolving to highlight both the opportunities and challenges that are inherently present within our region’s existing legal and regulatory framework.
By practice, my assessments on land use issues are driven by both deep policy research and my growing legal background. Often, I put my skills to work on behalf of those outside of the industry to help them understand the dynamics of land use and growth, and what those implications tangibly mean for their neighborhood.
Since the launch of The Foggiest Idea, my perspective on real estate development has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The New York Daily News, Newsday, The Real Deal, Crain’s NY, TheStreet, CBS News, Fox News, and more, and I regularly consult on land use issues with elected officials, civic organizations, policymakers and concerned residents nationwide.
The Foggiest Idea has presented its findings at various conferences – including industry events, guest lectures and community forums – and regularly goes on speaking tours with stops in communities throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties. I proudly serve as an adjunct professor at Stony Brook University, where I teach both undergrad and graduate-level courses within the University’s Masters of Public Policy program as well as within the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS). You can learn more about my teaching here. Currently, I am pursuing my Juris Doctor (JD) at Touro Law, with an expected graduation in 2029.
Do not hesitate to reach out to connect with me on LinkedIn or via email at Rich@TheFoggiestIdea.org.
I hope to convey my passion to help define what issues residents face, and how we can tackle them moving forward.
