All of those ideas or tech could be used for very nefarious purposes. Two sides to every story. The site pretty much handles all of the counterpoints.
- Tenant screening means local income or felons cannot live anywhere other than the worst crime ridden housing. It's neo-redlining or housing covenants.
- Cameras means persistent surveillance and monitoring of your tenants. Imagine this with facial ML tech.
- Brokers for home sales result in an uneven playing field and high potential for corruption. The incentive structure is not in the favor of individuals.
- Rent to own might increase default rates, debt and speculation.

It's hard to view this with much positivity.
