Stories abound about Black, Hispanic and Asian homebuyers receiving unequal treatment, starting with their ability to see whatever homes they like, and continuing through to the appraisal and mortgage processes. At virtually every step of the way, too often people of color find hurdles in their path, making it difficult to turn their dreams of home ownership into reality.<\/p>\n<p>These challenges also afflict people by virtue of their gender, sexual orientation and religion. Whatever the root cause, more must be done to level the real estate playing field for all. We at Realtor.com have been working to break down those hurdles.<\/p>\n<p>For example, earlier this month, we removed the crime map layer from all search results on Realtor.com to rethink the safety information we share on Realtor.com and how we can best integrate it as part of a consumer\u2019s home search experience.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The idiots at Redfin explained it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/neighborhood-crime-data-doesnt-belong-on-real-estate-sites\/\">this way<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"22\">\n<p>We recently decided not to add neighborhood crime data to Redfin.com. We were considering this because we\u2019re very much focused on answering all the questions people have when they\u2019re considering a home purchase, and we know that one of these questions is whether they\u2019ll feel safe in a given home or neighborhood. But the data available don\u2019t allow us to speak accurately to that question, and given the long history of redlining and racist housing covenants in the United States there\u2019s too great a risk of this inaccuracy reinforcing racial bias. We believe that Redfin\u2013and all real estate sites\u2013should not show neighborhood crime data.<\/p>\n<p>People Are Interested in Safety, Not Crime<\/p>\n<p>One big thing we learned through our research is that there\u2019s real variety in how people define and evaluate safety, and that it doesn\u2019t line up very well with purely crime-based data. When we survey people about what they want to know about a neighborhood, they define safety in a number of different ways: people variously say they care whether there\u2019s trash on the street, care solely about violent crime, or care whether they are going to frequently see people who are homeless.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Do these idiots honestly believe that 1) this gibberish makes any sense to any sane individual, or that 2) people are going to make the most important investment choice of their lives without looking at crime data, or 3) that this woke, Orwellian nonsense will convince people that they shouldn\u2019t be concerned with crime data when buying a home?<\/p>\n<p>Something you frequently hear from me in reference to <em>woke <\/em>is how it\u2019s a violation of human nature. Well, this is a perfect example. On no planet is someone going to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars without looking into the primary need of human nature\u2014which is safety. And it\u2019s not only physical safety but the safety of a massive investment.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Simply put, this is not going to work. Eventually, Realtor.com and Redfin will either lose a ton of business or have to reverse course.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.4558823529412\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Seventy-three percent of Americans believe crime is higher now under President Joe Biden than under former President Trump in 2020. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/V0TSUJR1RN\">https:\/\/t.co\/V0TSUJR1RN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BreitbartNews\/status\/1397724597336817664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 27, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As far as this claim of racial bias\u2026 Do these idiots honestly believe that racial minorities are unconcerned with crime statistics when looking into buying a new home?<\/p>\n<p>You cannot mess with people\u2019s safety, and you cannot gaslight them with woke buzzwords into believing it\u2019s \u201cappropriate\u201d or \u201ccorrect\u201d to move their family somewhere without knowing just how safe it is or isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>If there is one constant in American politics, it is that crime matters. Years ago, I told you that this defund the police nonsense would end in a disaster and then a reversal. Well, violent crime is now exploding in these Democrat-run citifies, and now some of the bluest cities in America are reversing course and promising to clamp down on crime. I\u2019m no genius, no fortune teller. It\u2019s just that outcome was the only possible outcome. And it\u2019s the same here with Realtor.com and Redfin. There\u2019s nothing decent or compassionate, or progressive about withholding crime data from homebuyers. It\u2019s wholly immoral and unacceptable, and the outcome is inevitable.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow John Nolte on Twitter <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NolteNC\"><strong><em>@NolteNC<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong>. <em>Follow his Facebook Page <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JohnNolteNC\/?skip_nax_wizard=true\"><strong><em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two real estate sites, Realtor.com and Redfin, have decided not to include crime data in their websites because of racism or something\u2026 The idiots at Realtor.com explained it this way: &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1124765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1124765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1124765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1124765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1124765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1124765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1124765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
