Of companies in the past? Stripe (huge regulatory/partnership burden), Flexport (geez) I’d look to housing, healthcare; they’re surely filled with them

I think there is a big role for startups to play in both but I think the problem is deeper in that ~1/5th of the US economy is basically dependent on housing always getting more expensive, and that it is a core part of our retirement model as Americans are living longer....

So a lot of it is necessarily a kind of zero-sum wealth transfer. If housing gets a *lot* more expensive, that’s more equity for boomer retirement security but more debt for millennials and Gen Z

Slowing appreciation gains will mean less equity to tap in the case of an economic shock for older owners, but then more affordability, lower rental/mortgage burdens for the subsequent generation
