I was in one of these programs - enjoyed it. At the same time, it created a kind of divide between the students who got to take a special day off every couple of weeks, and those who didn't. It could have been done more tactfully. I th

I can see why people might not like the concept but I think it's getting more anger than it deserves. From another perspective, you could also see this as betting on someone, which is actually kind of fun (if I understand correctly and

Agreed - I hadn't really considered the SEC angle, I'll make sure I get proper legal advice for that as well.

Even if they're not legally liable, my guess is they were spending a non-trivial amount of time on the issue, including dealing with complaints.

not really, they're just trying to avoid headaches with illegal listings.

Yeah that's a good point. I think Pacaso deals with it by not holding any ownership in the properties, so they're not actually selling shares. Their model just seems to be organizing an LLC with a special operating agreement, givi

Fascinating, thanks for the insight.

I'm very sensitive to any seafood taste as well, and If I ever detect it in something that's not seafood, I'll just instantly throw the meal away. I'll make an exception for caesar dressing. I like seafood too, just not
