on one hand stuff 'em, on the other this line of criticism is basically:
we need to improve how we fund journalism
yet you participate in funded journalism, curious!
This article reframes people being able to afford to stay in their homes as some kind of crisis.
Not present at any point in this article; any evidence that any American is stuck in a home they would rather leave. They couldn’t even be bothered to quote a single homeowner who wanted to move let alone anything indicating that this is a common sentiment.
The only evidence cited are previous rates of housing mobility which are then taken simply as a natural norm with any deviation an unwanted aberration.
The idea that people might generally want to live in the homes they bought long term is not considered. The idea that those who move or downsize are often doing so reluctantly under pressure from their mortgage is not considered.
True but I also think there are good use cases for such locks and would probably buy one if there were an open source lock available, or even one with easily replaceable firmware that was affordable.
Important thing to remember is that all locks are at best an inconvenience for any dedicated intruder and also to yourself if it fails.
