An excellent argument for further consolidation of every industry - now they are big enough to attract scrutiny! Look, less competition is actually better for consumers!
I mean, wow.
- andylynch 4y agoNot arguing that at all - real estate is weird in that it’s much less liquid than other retail markets, and moreover buyers ie renters are at a further economic and information disadvantage. So some consolidation in the context of making the market more transparent and better regulated for renters to counter this _maybe_ should not be immediately dismissed if there is not a political mandate for more dramatic reforms.
- javajosh 4y agoIt sounds like you're arguing in good faith, but no, I'm sorry, you're just wrong. In any conflict, a smaller adversary is better. Individual landlords, who live in the neighborhood, are in every way more accountable for their behavior.
