No one new was going to come in and rent with them at the time if they evicted someone. All that would have done is put more people in the street and the Landlords wouldn't be much better off.. You're fooling yourself if you don't think this would be happening with or without Covid. Rent prices have been going up like this forever. They're just using this as the excuse to justify it now. in 2 years they'll do it again, and again, and agian, LIKE THEY ALWAYS HAVE. --- Dallas Cowboys: 1 - 1 ... Copied to Clipboard!

TheVipaGTS posted... How do you explain the increase in prices that was taking place long before Covid?When rent controls allow a maximum increase, that becomes the rent increase. "Can't raise the rent more than 5% a year!" just means "the rent's increasing 5% each year."

When you have the GOP and moderate Dems who are profiting off problems like this, its difficult to do much. She puts forth bills that have absolutely no chance in hell of passing, and she knows that.

She is like those politicians that are the only one who votes yes or no on something that has overwhelming bipartisan support the other way.

And guys this is just a temporary problem. Soon you will be able to enjoy the luxuries of Pod living in repurposed shipping containers. Sure you may not be able to afford to live in the city you work in but thanks to Pod living you can enjoy living with your fellow employees in company sponsored Pods and not worry about rent as it will automatically be deducted from your paycheck. And gas prices will be thing of the past as you will be bussed to your job at starbucks or burger king. Why would you even want to own a car or anything at all really?
