I wonder if the inconsistencies that caused the delays in Iowa were pranksters/ratf***ers reporting fake results? If they can clog the lines, who knows what else they can get away with.

Exactly. There is a principal-agent problem where the party that chooses the broker is not the party who pays for it, so the incentives to choose a low-cost broker are weak. If landlord pays, the incentives are stronger.

It's not even the opinions that I disagree with -- I can learn from those anyway. It's the dumb, lazy stuff like this tweet that gets me.

I stay subscribed because I think knee-jerk unsubscription is bad for journalism, but their opinion columnists keep finding ways to make me question that decision.

As I see it, the difference is that now the landlord will see that they are overpaying someone $2-5k+ to attend one signing, and shop around instead. They had little incentive to shop around when they were passing on the fee.

Plus under the status quo, landlords have no incentive to get the best value in a broker, since the fee is passed on anyway. Now they will.

Reincorporate NY as a church so that state taxes (tithes, as we will call them) are fully deductable from federal taxes.

I'm not sure how it got there (txn costs were higher before the web?), but my (unsubstantiated) theory on why it has stayed there is that listings sites only let you filter by fee/no-fee so it's hard to compete on fee unless you go all the way and eliminate it.

My theory is that there is some price stickiness because there is currently no real incentive to go below one month fee, unless you go all the way to zero and advertise as no-fee.

I am sure tenants will still pay for some of this in the form of rent, but I'm very curious to see how much. I don't usually doubt markets, but 1+ month tent always seemed out of whack in a world where tenants are doing their own searches on Street East.

Yes, they recommend more transparency and accessibility for caucuses, which is good. But they chose not to recommend a switch to a primary system, which they could have if they wanted to.

Amazing to think how much fury would be raised by Sanders supporters if any other candidate running against him had a fraction of the influence on the 2020 rules as he did.

My point is that you don't get to play the game you want to play, you have to play the game that everyone else is playing. And if you don't, you can't declare victory. This is as true in the general as it is in the primaries.

Not only is Iowa a bad model for the rest of the USA, but given the arcane caucus rules, Iowa isn't even a good model *of Iowa*.
