A lot of anti vaxxers seem to advertise themselves as Christian. I think the actual problem (when it comes to anti vaxx, incels, and similar cults) is the internet unfortunately.
I wish religion would dissuade antivaxism. I'm active in a faith and every antivaxer I know is some stripe of Christian. They're a small minority, thank Glob.
It mostly doesn’t from what I saw in SF (for single family homes anyway). One issue: Prop 13 means it’s hard to compete as a new purchaser vs. someone that purchased many years ago. For instance, my neighbor rented her ground floor out. Because she had lived there for 40+ years her property taxes were ~$1000/year. Recently sold houses in that area had property taxes of 15-20 times that amount.

Is it really that merchant-friendly / anti-consumer? I have used chargebacks when merchants fail to deliver as promised, even when most people wouldn’t call them “some scammer”.
For instance recently a package was shipped that didn’t include one of many items. I asked for a refund, they claimed it was in the package. No worries, I’ll just do a chargeback.
