I like a good bike lane. They separate me from cars when I’m on my bike and make me feel safer than riding in traffic. But they’re not perfect. Cars and delivery trucks will block them. Sometimes drivers open their doors into the bike lane without looking. And they don’t feel safe enough for most people. If we want more people to bike, we have to build better bike infrastructure, and the good news is that this is starting to happen here in the US, believe it or not. But we need to make this happen faster

Re: Real Estate > Bombshell Buyer-Side Class ActionLawsuit

Whoa! This looks like a new lawsuit could really shake-up the residential real estate market according to an Opinion piece published by Robert Hahn on March 8, 2019
What the bombshell buyer-side lawsuit means for Realtors
If the court rules in favor of plaintiffs,
> Realtor associations evaporate
> The  Multiple Listing Service MLS  likely dies off
> The entire infrastructure of residential real estate has to be remade
A new era of absolute transparency in NAR listings
_________________________________________________________________________
The Metro Phoenix market in on the list of 20 cities - The basic claim is that the MLS rule of unilateral offer of compensation is a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
From the Complaint: Defendants’ conspiracy has centered around NAR’s adoption and implementation of a rule that requires all brokers to make a blanket, non-negotiable offer of buyer broker compensation (the “Buyer Broker Commission Rule”) when listing a property on a Multiple Listing Service (“MLS”). 
Did you sell your home within the last five years?” . . . You likely overpaid by thousands of dollars in real-estate broker commission. You could be entitled to reimbursement for price-fixing.”

MarketWatch-Mar 19, 2019
A new class-action lawsuit takes aim at real estate agents and the tools they use to do ... adding it to the MLS, marketing it, and showing it to prospective buyers. ... Both Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, and Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro have a ...
_________________________________________________________________________________
Hahn fills in the details and goes on to say and warned this action is distinctive in that plaintiffs' attorneys are heavy-hitters with deep pockets, extensive experience and notable rulings on behalf of plaintiffs.
"What the plaintiffs want here is an end to cooperation and compensation," Hahn wrote. "That destroys the MLS, and if the MLS gets destroyed, it kills the Realtor Associations.
In case you missed it, a class action lawsuit was filed with the United States District Court in the Northern District of Illinois (aka, Chicago) on Wednesday, March 6. I think it will likely end up being called Moehrl v. NAR, et. al. It alleges that cooperation and compensation is an anti-trust violation that results in consumer harm and seeks an injunction against forcing homesellers to pay the commissions of the buyer agent.
I know I’m accused of hyperbole by some, but I really don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that this case could be a nuclear bomb on the industry . . ."
The six MLSs in the Southwest that cover the following metropolitan areas:
Four in Texas (Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio)
Las Vegas, Nevada;
Phoenix, Arizona
The three MLSs in the Mountain West that cover the following metropolitan areas:
Two in Colorado (Colorado Springs and Denver)
Salt Lake City, Utah
_________________________________________________________________________
These are some of the largest MLSs in the country with hundreds of thousands of agents and millions of consumers and transactions over the past four years.
The named Defendants thus far are the National Association of Realtors, Realogy, HomeServices of America, RE/MAX and Keller Williams.
The lawyers picked the top four largest real estate brokerages in their Complaint;
Robert Hahn:  "I assume that they will quickly realize that RE/MAX and Keller Williams are not brokerages, but franchise companies, and will either amend the Complaint to include some other large brokerages . . ."

Paying Your Buyer's Agent: A New Class Action Lawsuit Might Not Bring That Much Change

New lawsuit claims Utah realtors part of 'conspiracy' to fleece thousands from clients
SALT LAKE CITY — A federal class-action lawsuit filed in Illinois last week against numerous real estate brokers, including some operating in Utah, as well as the National Association of Realtors, claims the defendants have been "conspiring to require home sellers to pay the broker representing the buyer of their homes, and to pay at an inflated amount, in violation of federal antitrust law."
The complaint is seeking to both recover damages, potentially in the tens of billions of dollars, as well as change Realtor rules that the suit says "requires all brokers to make a blanket, non-negotiable offer of buyer broker compensation … when listing a property on a Multiple Listing Service. . . "
The article prominently mentions one Utah-based business: Homie used by a home buyer
instead of selling through a traditional agent, to use Utah-based Homie, which uses a web-based service that charges a flat fee of $1,500 to help owners sell their homes.
