  • I assume this (and really any extra mandates for landlords) is going to drive more small/private landlords out of the business, and that won’t necessarily increase housing availability on its own, but will instead be filled by larger corporate landlords that can afford to deal with administrative work required. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found small landlords to be where you can find the best experience (but also maybe the worst, it’s more variable), having just corporate landlords feels like you’ll always get a shittier place (minimal work done) for market rates.





  • As you mention it wasn’t autopilot, the max really just isn’t designed to fly well and needs a system to assist the pilots in keeping it flying in certain situations. I don’t believe the issue was the pitot tubes, there are many on an aircraft of this size and they have deicing abilities. The issue was a separate sensor, of which there was only one (which breaks traditional standards of having at least 3) and that sensor sent incorrect data causing the mcas to nose dive the plane.

    That’s issue 1. There is also the issue with engine deicing that can catastrophically destroy the engines if left on for 5+ minutes with no ice (wtf?? Pilots are used to a system that can be left on with no harm), as well as insecure bolts, and now this door plug not being secure. Boeing is not a company to trust anymore and MD had a similar record before their board took over Boeing, so it’s not a surprise.
