\u201cReal estate is kids and dogs \u2013 and the redoubt that keeps them\u00a0safe.\u201d<\/p><\/div>America is aghast at its own collapse, and this seems to have resulted in a dearth of fluffy real estate lies. But Redfin always<\/em> comes through, today with a survey of recent movers’ attitudes about hot-button political issues.<\/a><\/p>\n

That alone seems stupid to me: “We’re from Redfin, and we market our business with dubious anger porn! What’s it gonna take to get you to hate your new neighbors today?”<\/p>\n

But the question to have asked, given that we’re asking recent movers why they moved, is this one: “How were your real estate choices influenced by last year’s riots?”<\/p>\n

Redfin could only ask that question by admitting that there were<\/em> riots \u2013 most especially in Redfin’s own home town of Seattle.<\/p>\n

Moreover, since the riots were \u2013 and are \u2013 the<\/em> reason for America’s resort to resorting itself \u2013 the Ants who can fleeing Grasshopper-run cities, moving as far as possible from rioters \u2013 refusing to talk about them is worse than lying: It’s gaslighting \u2013 redlining facts out of the discussion.<\/p>\n

Why is Redfin pretending to be bold about politics while gaslighting the riots that are actually roiling the real estate industry? Where is its headquarters again…?<\/p>\n
