Is there something like this for Java? I feel like the more popular languages get the more people write blogspam that gets in the way. E.g. If you search "libs for rust" you get https://lib.rs/ but try doing &quot

I want to agree, but at the end of the day the corps doing this are taking crappy properties and renovating them. They want to fix it up and resell it or charge higher rents than the current owners. That's how they make their profits.

So someone else gave you a well thought out, and sourced answer. I'll just give you my personal thoughts on the issue, which are incomplete. I try to separate out what is actually going on from generic, "kids these days" bull
