This article is silly. It looks to me like what happens when a writer meets a situation he is unable to comprehend yet wants to say something really profound about it. Really poor execution on the structure of the piece.
What he should have done, instead of quoting the blogger who was worried over the collapse of western civilization or one of the startup founders, is interview people on both sides of the economic transaction. Are sellers happy with their experience? How about buyers? This would have given the reader the ability to at least anecdotally walk in the shoes of those involved. That would be a nice newspaper story. Take me to the scene of where something unique and interesting is happening.
Or, if he wanted to make some over-arching societal point, he should have written an opinion piece. Gave us more statistics. As it is presented it is not much of a newspaper story or an opinion piece, neither bird nor foul. Meh.
