hmmmm

oh no no no no no

All those homeless people on the streets and Bernie wont let a single one of them into his house rent free and pay for their healthcare or education. And they call Trump the con man. Why would he help the poor as president when he doesnt now?

Down with the aristocracy.

So Hannibal responded by promoting bourgeoisie class-division tactics, what a great look!

Actual quote from his response video:

Its kinda wild seeing young, white kids get upset at me for owning property

enrique kahn
"I'm not a landlord"

*describes how he is literally a landlord*

"I don't think being a landlord is evil"

*describes how being called a landlord makes him feel bad*

lol I forgot how mad bernie supporters get when black people don't fall in line

Anyway, Hannibal and Bernie are both landlords. The only difference is Bernie wants the government to intervene and give landlords an unfair advantage.

Abolish landlords. You shouldn't be able to own property that you don't live in.

Lol

Being informed isn't what a meltdown is.

Stop trying to hide the fact that you feel compelled to shill for someone even when you know he's wrong. Learn how cults work, get help.

No actually the amount of money we spend on housing due to price controls and zoning laws is a far larger issue than Airbnbs. Think for like two seconds before saying something like that.

He should be cancelled for being an unfunny industry plant, dude is literally Cleveland from family guy in real life lmao

https://hbr.org/2019/04/research-when-airbnb-listings-in-a-city-increase-so-do-rent-prices

This means that, in aggregate, the growth in home-sharing through Airbnb contributes to about one-fifth of the average annual increase in U.S. rents and about one-seventh of the average annual increase in U.S. housing prices.

Surely you have data that supports your claim that rent control is having a more outsized impact on increasing housing claims relative to the impact of airbnb?
