In this episode, we delve into how artificial intelligence and notable property developers orchestrate a massive wealth transfer disguised by political chaos and market manipulations. Host Zev Shalev converses with James M. Nelson, author of 'The New Landlord: Powered by Big Data and Artificial Intelligence,' about the DOJ's investigation into alleged price-fixing by corporate landlords using AI platforms like RealPage. They explore the impacts of these practices on housing costs, homelessness, and the American Dream, spotlighting influential figures like Harlan Crow and Jared Kushner. Nelson's research unveils a systematic effort to manipulate housing markets, creating a stark contrast between wealthy elites and the struggling middle class. Thank you, James M.
