NY Times this morning - How Your Landlord Could Be Tracking You. Key fobs and other smart-access technologies make it easier for us to get in and out of our homes — but they’re also a privacy hazard.

The old adage about the media is "If it bleeds, it leads".  Maybe it should be "if it disparages landlords, it leads".  I have no doubt the topic of the article has happened, but to think it is on scale deserving a NY Times headline is questionable.  I do think we would be better off if the term landlord had never been coined and we were simply referred to as investor owners.

    @Terrell Garren Not surprised the media is over-dramatizing and demonizing efficiencies we provide our tenants. 

    Thanks for sharing!

    While I realize we are each the star of our own life, it always cracks me up the people who think the government/landlord/(insert nefarious evil entity) is "spying" on them.  Even with the means, it is rare that anybody would be that interested in your life (general you).
