About

Income inequality is the highest it's been in nearly a century. Wage declines are making home ownership more and more difficult, leading people to become renters. Housing advocate Yale Fox thinks this is a huge problem, since most renters have little power to change fluctuating market prices or the condition of their rentals. In this talk, Fox introduces Rentlogic, a system that rates apartments and landlords -- and helps renters find the best places to live in their area.
