Wouldn't this be illegal? He wants to buy apartment buildings, rent below cost, and refuse to rent to people with tech jobs. The government is allowed to do this sort of thing as long as they use income and not job type to determine it, but I think if private citizens did it then it would be considered discrimination and there are a lot of laws against that in the housing market.
