There's no place for institutional finance in rental markets. It's a predatory extraction machine that robs the poor and middle.
But one thing I'd add: we should stop calling these people "investors". They don't "invest". They buy up and milk existing assets. 🧵

This has been a very common pipeline: Ed tech sells “solutions” that don’t solve problems (the actual problems are too big), admin sees an easy fix & throws money at it, teachers get told they have to use it & get no budget because Ed tech is pricey.

Far-right rhetoric is suffused with dark talk of impending calamities. It’s a favorite trope of autocrats who are, themselves, the calamity.

If there is one lesson to draw from the history of fascism in the interwar period in Europe, it is this:
Democracy falls if and when mainstream conservatives and centrist/center-right elites decide to make common cause with extremists because they consider the “radical Left” the more acute threat.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”
