Overnight News: If Seattle’s exurbs are smokin’ hot, how cold is soggy Rain City itself? Redfin only likes half of that question.

I swear, you cannot make this stuff up. Seattle is being emptied by its riots, and Redfin notices by ostentatiously not noticing. As was noted in the comments here lately, this is by now arguably a matter of fraud – boosting their own home values as they too race away from the inevitable further consequences of Marxism.

My take, about which I may have much more to say later:

For freedom of trade to persist, trustworthiness should not just be assumed but never doubted. Accordingly, worthy traders must be more than simply non-predatory – they must be explicitly, overtly and vigilantly anti-predation.

There are far too many ways to get this wrong, but here is an easy way for Redfin to start getting it right:
