As always, I am apparently the only person in real estate publishing who can say out loud that the real estate surge that followed the inglorious death of George Floyd was caused by the riots that also followed the inglorious death of George Floyd. This is completely obvious, is easily demonstrated in Redfin’s own charts and is corroborated by a corresponding surge in firearms sales. Ignoring reality is a full time job, apparently, but I’m guessing it pays well.<\/p>\n

Even so, I think the governors are trafficking in proxy signals: What “We are CDC rebels” really means is: “We are Ant-friendly in every way \u2013 especially schools.”<\/p>\n

That would be actual dog-whistling, albeit not the kind we’re always warned about: Red-state governors are advertising for freedom-seeking Ants to relocate to their states \u2013 not to escape risible mask rules but to escape the color revolution in Grasshopper-led cities.<\/p>\n
