Story angles for journalists

A few non-obvious angles BuyorMeet is well-positioned to comment on:

• The mechanics of marketplace fraud. Why the FTC's online-shopping fraud reports keep climbing despite Marketplace and Craigslist scaling, and what an escrow-mediated alternative changes about the buyer-seller commitment problem.
• The post-Craigslist generation. How buyers under 30 are using local marketplaces differently than buyers under 50 — fewer jobs/gigs/housing, more high-value resale (sneakers, electronics, vintage fashion).
• Local meetup safety. Police-station "safe trade zones" have proliferated since 2014. We can speak to the geographic patterns — which metros have the most, which have the fewest, what the gap looks like between US and Canadian cities.
