FYI, Redfin publishes the average percentage that homes in an area sell for relative to last asking price. For Sunnyvale, it's 9% above [1].

(I'd argue that highest asking price would be a better comparison, since the seller might have dropped the price. But still useful.)

> but only if we all agree.

"we all" in this case refers to the top single-digit percent of holders [1]. It's no small feat to get consensus there! But it's also not very decentralized/democratized and sounds a lot like our existing financial (or societal) systems.

I was locked out of my account for 3.5 years before they worked through the queue far enough to get to me. I stopped using Coinbase long before then though.

Hyperbole doesn't help here. Legalizing four-plexes in your neighborhood will almost never knock a million dollars off your home's value. I bet it'd be hard to find many examples of upzoning causing SFHs to drop significantly in price anywhere.
