I said it once, I'll say it again:

Residentjal property shouldn't be allowed to be an investment. Or heavily taxed to make it unprofitable unless you live there yourself.

"Flow will operate multi-family residential properties that aim to foster a feeling of ownership and community"

How cynical...

No single word in the English vocabulary grates against me more than when I hear owners of residential property refer to it as "units".

It's so dehumanizing. Rather, it's monetizing humanity.

Reminds me of "human resources". My experiences with HR have also been largely negative. They're there to protect and make sure the humans are a resource to the company, not for the humans and humanity.
