Here's Zillow's reply to the Arizona Board of Appraisers:Lloyd Frink, Zillow’s President:“We strongly believe that providing Zestimates in Arizona is completely legal (and in fact an important public service), given that Zestimates are the result of our ‘automated valuation model’ and are not a formal appraisal.

Productivity has absolutely increased significantly, but it hasn't increased because workers have become better workers - it has increased because of higher levels of mechanization, automation, computer and robotic controls.

Likewise we were never a "market/trade" city that grew because of industries now automated (Memphis and cotton) or trade via rivers (Cincinnati).  

@Tayo O. it's based on an automated underwriting approval. 

If there was an instrument to short individual markets, I would buy puts aggressively and have a small option short on these two.

Semi passive - You don't need to be involved in day to day operations and with automation you are just collecting rent automatically when you have long term tenants. 3.
