sounds somewhat similar to my story I still run a real estate business but let the agents do 95% of the selling I only work with a few select clients...one in particular buys properties that can be turned into affordable rentals The governments idea of "affordable" is so skewed it's ridiculous. Even in Hawaii(we don't have even one Republican in the State house on either side), the Dems are so corrupt and tied into big business it is insane. Latest approved "affordable" housing project was $54,000,000 for 130 rental units. The developer received $17m in tax credits, a similar amount in Gov't grants He will collect $1,600/mo for a tiny 1 bedroom apt in an area where $10-15/hr is the norm

I would rephrase that, because talk is so darn cheap it's almost free. He addressed the concerns, or spoke to them, or spoke of them, however you want to put it. He talked. And he listened, or pretended to listen at least, and gave them a response such that they felt heard. Just like Obama did in '08, come to think of it (Change We Can Believe In, anyone??). Whether he and his administration make their lives any better remains to be seen. The proof will be in the pudding. Or in this case, behind the smoke screen of a thousand tweets of light. ...there is no question he addressed the concerns of the working class much more than Obama/Clinton
