There has to be some nuance. Companies are known to either rent of sometimes own housing for personnel who travel to other offices. Universities typically own housing as well. So maybe it’s something like it can’t be one of the main businesses of the corp to buy up residential housing as an investment tool.
- JoshTriplett 10mo agoI mean, the ideal amount of nuance is to not ban this in the first place"; right now we're talking about damage control for particularly critical subsets of uses. > Universities typically own housing as well. I'd expect that argument to carry negative weight with the folks trying to do this, given the hate they have for universities in general, and the love of privatization.
- OGEnthusiast 10mo ago> critical subsets of uses I don't consider rich people trying to hide their identity to be "critical" at all. Maybe having their address public will be a way to force them to act with consideration of the community instead of just themselves for once while they hide in some anonymous mansion.

- JoshTriplett 10mo ago> rich people What part of "people at risk of doxing" made you jump to "rich people" rather than, for instance, "people in groups commonly attacked"? > force them to act with consideration of the community By doing what, precisely? "Have you tried not being (commonly attacked group here)?"
- sdenton4 10mo agoOnly rich people can afford houses in the US, ergo.
- Forgeties79 10mo ago~65% of the US is rich?
- wyre 10mo agoKeyword was "afford" not own. The average person can not afford to purchase a home (without having to uproot their entire life).
- Forgeties79 10mo agoSome numbers and definitions would go a long way here

- yrxuthst 10mo agoRich people aren't the only ones that want to hide their address. Stalking/DV victims can use this too, or even just a regular person that prefers privacy.
- psunavy03 10mo agoSo basically you're subtly encouraging violence and intimidation, and want that to be easier than trying to find someone's "anonymous mansion."
- impendia 10mo agoI agree in principle, but companies (and individual very rich people) are amazingly inventive when it comes to finding loopholes in the "nuance".
