New York mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo writes his housing plan with ChatGPT in c/techtakes@awful.systems

Andrew Cuomo is the anthropomorphic personification of "shitlib," an egregore formed from the regrettable dreams of ten million mediocre centrists who will overlook a million deadly sins in order to return to "normal."

Looks like a local boy did good.

I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.

I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

EDIT: Fixed "Blocked" issue by linking to archive

EDIT2: Also linked to the correct archive page
