A part of me thinks that assholes are assholes and that for the most part people dislike assholes but if you're entire worldview centers around flag sucking authoritarianism, racist views and traditionalism then it's hard for me to see traditional gender roles being a huge deal breaker there either way so I dunno. My ex wife likes to call herself a liberal and a feminist or whatever but is dating a guy who thinks Trump is one of the greatest presidents ever and somehow that's not a deal breaker. I assume due to his income level, handiness around the house and his looks but I haven't dug that far into it. Something like that would be a non starter for me personally but I don't tell her to to gently caress so whatever and obviously she can do what she wants but it's still puzzling for me. It's just weird to witness because so much surrounding how she presents herself and the things she claims are important fly in the face of that and she loving HATES Donald Trump but what do I know? She's not as liberal nor as open minded as she likes to claim, I know that.

Aren't abortions in the US statistically much more heavily carried out on minority women, and always have been? Banning abortion will just result in America becoming _less_ white over time so I'd struggle to believe that justification over the more standard religious insanity.

Apparently the words "Adam Neumann" and "real estate" in the same sentence somehow still cause VCs to gush money from various orifices: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/08/15/business/economy-news-inflation-stocks quote:Adam Neumann is back. I guess this is just a rental apartment company, that's also going to offer to run other people's apartments, so I can't figure out what's "disruptive" here, other than the disruption of common sense in giving this guy more money. But the same VC also invested a bunch in his crypto company, so clearly everything's fine.

i'm going to guess that its a rental management company which is trying to be large enough that it would be sensible to have renters as subscriber/members of the service itself, and not just people renting an individual property. so like you don't just look at listings of available properties in your preferred area and budget, but there's that as part of a unified platform along with whatever other perks and crap they can attach to it. most apartment complexes these days use some third party platform to manage billing and service requests and such, so integrating a platform like this on a broader collection of rental units along with ??? idk coupons or something

If I were to hazard a guess, this goes after the same target market of WeWork: tech companies. It’s the age of remote work, nice swanky offices won’t attract employees anymore, but maybe their eyes will light up if you talk about offering them Flow rentals. It might even be a way to get members of the same team to de facto be in the same office — just offer them rentals in the same complex or area. I’m just freeballing, but it wouldn’t be a stretch, I think.

Employee benefits to include Flow credits, without which you wouldn't be able to afford the apartment. Now your living situation as well as your healthcare plan can be directly tied to your employer.

Dealing with a rental company that is just expensive and slightly stupid instead of "really loving shady" sounds like something that could actually work in certain markets. The big rental companies in my city are all exceptionally shady. I put down a refundable deposit, in writing, for a friend of mine who was looking for something on ultra-short notice when the market was really tight, he ended up finding something else, and they said "oh, it's not refundable after all." I said, "well, you can try to deposit that cheque but I've put a stop-payment on it and you can loving sue me, but you'll lose and pay my costs in the process" and they decided that I was, in fact, right all along. But how many people fell for that bullshit? Largely I think they're taking advantage of people who don't know and understand their rights, and can't afford to defend themselves legally if it comes to that. It's like Uber against the various taxi services. Uber is poo poo; it's an awful, exploitative company, but the taxi monopolies were so, so bad that I still can't really be that angry about it.

and then Flow can sell/report your internet activity logs back to your employer so the boss can write you up for visiting a non-work related site during work from home business hours.

Now your living situation as well as your healthcare plan can be directly tied to your employer. Lets say for a minute that they implement something like this. Is there anything in common housing law that would prevent an apartment from requiring the use of Flow credits as part of the monthly rent? Of which you can only get at participating employers? Or say there are specific Flow credits for each employer, and certain places require the use of specific credits in addition to regular rent? gently caress reinventing the company town, you can reinvent redlining too!

The Andressen Horowitz statement just says that he's a real estate genius, and that COVID has made residential real estate an incredibly lucrative opportunity that they're desperate to get a stake in.

If there's any more logic to it beyond that, it's hidden very well behind the avalanche of buzzwords and half-formed thoughts. "The first model is: you own a home you call your own, typically with a multi-decade mortgage, near your current employer. IF you can find a house, as these locations often aren’t building new housing. IF you can afford that house, as housing prices in many such places have skyrocketed. And even then, you’re now stuck — you can’t move, even if your economic opportunity or life path wants to take you somewhere else. The second model: you rent an apartment, but: it’s a soulless experience; do you even meet your neighbors, much less have any friends in your complex? Does it feel like home, or just a place to sleep? Are you proud to bring friends and family to visit, or hesitant? And you can pay rent for decades and still own zero equity — nothing. There’s a reason the federal government started subsidizing home mortgages: someone who is bought in to where he lives cares more about where he lives. Without this, apartments don’t generate any bond between person and place and without community, no bond between person to person."  Sorry you aren't able to form an emotional bond with something you don't own, OP.

Unicorns aren't easy to chase now and the tall wonder is gonna have to front a lot more then he would have before, and show a profit well before to make this viable. And rentals aren't something he can just slam his way into as easily especially when you can't just use vc funds to give renters free things when you need that money to buy the apartments and then cover costs when they aren't paying. Unless he's going to be the extra middle man between the landlord and tenant which even more lol
