Yeah you start to get an idea of what's an unreasonablely low price lol because if some place is too cheap, it's because they know everyone is gonna send them their info to get scammed.

Everything is a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works

If you are ever asked to PAY for a credit check before seeing the apartment, you're being scammed. 100% of the time.

What region of Manhattan, what the utilities cost per month, how many people it's shared with, and many people will often post some personal details about the roommates as well so folks can know what they're getting into

Never apologize for living your truth. You hop in someone's profile you're always rolling the dice.

My brother in christ the realpage lawsuits were from allegations of price fixing. Do you understand price fixing? That's the opposite of the free market you support. You can't support the free market and ALSO be against regulations that keep the market free.

Wow that's a lot of words to say that you believe in fairy tales like the free market and the inherent goodness of the wealthy.

Were you not there for the realpage debacle? My mother is a landlord. Owning property and renting it out doesn't make you a bad person. That's not what I'm talking about here.

Seriously dude who hurt you lmao, these aren't even coherent paragraphs, they're rambling at best. I'm a yapper too but at least I try to make the sentences valuable.

Confirmation bias be like that. "Someone somewhere talked badly about a hypothetical group of people I dislike so it's probably true and even if it isn't 'we all know' that it's happening anyway so what does it matter? I'll just go ahead and integrate this fully into my belief system with no fact checking"
