The "disrupt" mantra endorsed by Softbank et. al. has grown extremely old. Housing prices in my area have inflated 25% in the past year - one year - and real estate companies like Zillow immediately buying up everything on the market is a primary contributor.
This isn't disrupting an industry, this is disrupting people's lives, and for what? What good is supposed to come from Zillow (et. al.) oligopolizing the housing market, and driving up prices like this?
