Maybe because it presents a false dichotomy where one’s desire to profit from an asset must also accommodate those unable to afford it?

Commiting a felony seems to be a life sentence in the United States even after you have served your time. The algorithm can easily just disqualify them with no nuance.

The description on this was even funny "When you rent a place for 1 or 2 years". Just wait till it caretakes rent collecting, rent raising, and eviction services.

If the algo disqualifies them with no nuance, great, that means there’s probably a market for those who do want to take the time to understand the actual risk profile of a tenant. Also, society as a whole does not owe a clean slate to anyone who has committed a felony. Perhaps we can codify it into law but that is not the case right now and the market has decided that we do care.

I asked the same without the sarcasm, and it got down voted instantly.
