Right. But Facebook shouldn't have that number.

Interesting. I wonder if that's an iOS requirement that Teams is forced into. Somehow, I doubt it.

You jest, but this may actually be an effective argument with the tech incompetent execs. Hopefully the FTC is more competent, but, somehow, I doubt it.

No. It's not a lack of existing housing. It's lack of available housing. Millions of homes sitting empty, owned by these firms as investment properties.

I'm not negating the benefits here. But this answer is to a problem created by the very people providing the answer, except it only truly benefits the causes. Millions of empty homes, owned as investment properties by these firms. They're causing the housing market deficit, and are now providing a "generous" 150sqft closet for $850us per month.

The same investment firms. That's my point. They own too much, and need regulation.

That's kind of the definition of a slum lord, though, isn't it?

On what device? I have Nearby Devices and Location disallowed on Android, and it still works fine.

Side note. Teams is the worst. Just, period.

So you need a BankID to open an account on the covered platforms? That seems like a privacy nightmare.

Exactly. Not sure how slum lord flats are the solution here, when investment firms are sitting on millions of empty homes.

While true, in the USA, there are millions of "investment homes" owned by investment firms, all sitting empty, driving down supply and driving up costs. The solution to the housing market in this instance isn't to increase the availability of 150sqft slum lord flats, but instead to significantly decrease the number of "investment homes" an entity is allowed to own [and to restrict its use (for example, it must not sit empty for more than 6 months)].
