  • Yeah, this was the outcome that was predicted when they allowed real estate brokers to also be property managers.

    People wonder why starter homes havent existed on the market for 25 years and the answer is because nobody builds them, and when they do go up for sale, real estate agents are sending them the way of clients they already represent as property managers.

    Why sell a house for 3% commission just once when you can sell it to somebody you are already partnered with and then make a 5% comission every month for the rest of your professional career while maybe only putting 15 hours per year worth of work into the unit?

    Pretty much every issue in America comes down to the partnership of banks, real estate agents and landlords.









  • Dude, you are never going to be in their club.

    Google isn’t getting into the hotel industry to help out an overburdened housing market. This is solely designed to make their immigrant workers more reliant on the company than they already are, while creating a legal loophole to pay them less than the agreed upon rate.

    It also suggests they intend to up the usage of immigrant workers, which will further displace the local housing situation and likely further rise homelessness within the county (and I imagine a rise in white supremacist thinking and action in response.

    This isn’t rational on Google’s part, this is a potential human rights crisis in the making that we really need to speak out against. 21St century company towns will not be different from 1800s company towns in any true meaningful way.

    When we poach the top talent from other countries by selling them on the American dream, we can’t bring them here to have them be an invisible class fully dependent on private corporations. We have to actually let them have the American dream we sold to them.
