PubliCola is happy to announce that we've hired a RealEstateNerd.

Award-winning real estate reporter Jane Hodges has covered the housing and real estate beat for The Seattle Times, Seattle Weekly, Seattle Magazine, The Wall Street Journal online, MSNBC.com, AOL HousingWatch, and HouseLogic.com, among others. She's currently working on a book about women and real estate.



Jane is going to write about new developments, development trends, the housing market, and policy, such as energy audits and zoning battles. She's also keen on urban innovations like UrbanGardenShare.org, where renters hook up with homeowners to get their green thumb on and share produce.

Welcome Jane to PubliCola's nerd roster.
