Apple would do themselves a lot of favors by embracing the fact that most technologists don't live in SV.

My proposal:

- Spend 10X this amount (25 Billion) making a slack competitor.

- Dog food it in house.

- Launch when you have solved the problem sufficiently.

- Make a profit and help solve many local housing problems globally.

They did this because their employees are feeling the pain of the housing crisis. I'm almost sure of it.

Or you can skip the first 3 because apple already makes insane profits anyway and no one needs a 25B message app.
