Am I missing something about whatever thrive is? I mean obviously having to rent your living space is bad but given that, renting from Costco seems no worse than renting from any other private landlord or company and the land use seems a lot better
"Thrive" is referring to Thrive Living, a "national real estate development and investment firm" affiliated with Magnum Real Estate Group.
Thank you but I still don't understand. It's not like Mom & Pop Landlords are any better. This seems like any given rental situation currently except with better land use
Exactly! I don't get why people think this is such a beyond-normal horrible thing, either.
I'm probably just being pessimistic but this portends badly
It happens to be the investment firm founded by the brother of the son-in-law* of the once and future President.
*Who, as an advisor to the latter, actually discontinued his ownership stake in the company to avoid a conflict of interest.
I still wouldn't put much trust in that company though.
