Landlord Rights, Economy Vibes v. Data, Asian White Flight
Ep. 181 w/ Show Notes
Seattle says landlords cannot reject tenants for having a criminal record. Should the Supreme Court step in? Ravi and Rikki tackle the often overlooked and controversial topic of landlord rights.
Inflation has come down after a historic spike during the pandemic, but everyday Americans say the lower rates haven’t positively impacted their wallets yet. Our hosts debate whether goods deflation is back and how a viral $16 McDonald's order could shape the 2024 election.
Finally, a new eye-opening study shows that when Asian students move in, white families move out. Is this a new type of “white flight?”
