You can put systems in place that discriminate even if it makes you more money.

Yes, most housing policies are racist. It’s one of the many things that need to be fixed.

They understand, they don't care.

Affluent white, black, and brown people pay a lot of money so that they do not have to live with poor black, brown, and white people. It’s not the race, it’s the social class.

Is that an issue with other realtors, too?

Wondering this too.

I’m glad it’s not just me. I mean, redlining waaaay predates Redfin, so it doesn’t make sense to single them out. It’s not like traditional realtors haven’t been discriminating against minorities for decades or anything.

Do you think the realtor who specializes in Chevy chase village is going to take on an 80k condo sale?

Agent here. My lowest sales price so far this year was $183,000 for a studio condo and the highest price was $3,747,000. At the end of the year I make a lot of money. You do the business and it all works out.

Poor whites actually tend to live in richer neighborhoods than even middle class blacks and Hispanics.

Except with black and brown people historically when they move in all the white people move out.

In the United States race = class.

Welp. Deleted my account. The issue I have is that under the traditional realtor system it seems like you can always find someone to take any listing and Redfin is attempting to disrupt that while leaving a hole in the market.

I would just sell the home myself if it's that cheap

I wonder what drives comments like this, ignorance or denial? It's about race, not class.

You should work on understanding how money, class, and face are tied together in America historically and to the present day

Do you think UMC white people would rather live next to a trailer park filled with white people or next to new construction with UMC black or Hispanic families? You want to make it about race because it’s more effective to say someone who disagrees is racist than classist

Wasn’t slavery based on race? Stop being obtuse.

And the accounting rules have been changed and all folks with credit history problems - which are predominantly LMI - who are in turn predominantly black and hispanic - are going to suffer beyond the cost associated with lower credit scores. Going to make buying a home even more expensive. Strangely, this has been made clear to the powers that but they have done nothing.
