Most homebuyers get to know the people who live next door after they move in. But a new real estate app allows future homebuyers to learn a potential neighbor’s political leanings before they make what, for many people, is the biggest purchase of their life.
The handwaving of polarization is not a great note to end on, I think…
Yeah people will move away if tensions get bad enough, but to preempt even that first exposure? People won’t go out to seek the other viewpoints, and this will only feed a more closed bubble.
Good thing there aren’t any homebuyers left then.
This is guaranteed to be used to witch-hunt and dox people isnt it…
well the information already exists. you can already buy it. All they’re doing is selling you something you could already buy, but for more than you could buy it elsewhere in a convenient app. If someone was gonna doxx then this isn’t making a difference really.
Yep, that’s what I was thinking too
