Biden Proposing 5% Cap on Housing Rents

[protectionist]

Liar. I have made it very clear that I oppose GOV'T IMPOSED RENT CONTROL. Now run along you commie *****.

If being a "commie" is being anti-business, there is no one in this forum more that way than YOU - and you heve more than proved it in this thread.

If guys with your frame of mind ruled this country, there would be no businesses left here, period - and we are actually headed that way right now with millions of businesses suffering major decline (many closed down), because of the reckless lunacy (out of control skyrocketing housing rents) you support.

Looks like you know nothing about owning/running a business. I've been a business owner since the 1980's. #1 - we are dependent upon there being a substantial amount of disposable income in the community to buy wht we sell. You are in favor of reducing, if not eliminating, that. You are a menace to 112 million renters, 100 million business owners/stockholders, and to America. And you are right in stride with the Democrats, and Joe Biden's unbridled inflation. You are part of that.

And Toddsterpatriot is just as UnAmerican and anti-business gooney as you are.

And by opposing that govt imposed rent control, you are squarely opposing 99.99% of all the businesses in America. You can't escape from that fact, & your silly name calling doesn't change a thing.
Now YOU "run along" and think about that (hard).

For all those who, ideology trauamatized, have difficulty putting things in perspective, allow me to provide this brief tutorial about ideology in the USA.

The US is a combination of capitalism and socialism. It is far more capitalism than socialism, but where the little bits of socialism are inserted, they work well to keep the capitalism part from running amuk, and destroying the whole capitalist system entirely, which is exactly what is happening now.

As the owner of 2 businesses, I am experiencing this firsthand, in addition to seeing millions of US businesses having their sales reduced severely, and many gone out of business entirely (ex. Sam Ash Music closed down after 100 years of successful operation).

Ideology talk may sound cool at first, but it doesnt always fly in the real world of actually being in business, and being dependent on disposable income among the potential customers, and when something happens to interfere with that foundation, specialized remedy is required.

I disagree with about 99% of what Joe Biden has done in his disastrous 3.5 years of his stolen presidency. But his proposal to insert a 5% cap on housing rent increases is the first good thing I've seen him do, and I'm not going to disparage it just because I'm a Republican, and Trump supporter.

And when Socialism finally drives all the capitalists out of the country, who will pick up the tab? I have lived a long life, and seen what happens when Socialism gets its roots into a country, and it never ends well for the citizens.

Right now it is not socialism, but extreme housing rent inflation that is driving all the capitalists out of the country. Sam Ash Music is not alone. Millions of businesses are being killed as well, including my 2 businesses.

Talking about socialism as a total national ideology is OFF TOPIC to this thread. There is no need to go into more detail about the input of SOME degree of a certain socialistic policy pertaining to a certain commodity, to keep our capitalist system from being ruined, because that was covered sufficiently in the post (443) you quoted.

. Now it either it IS some Socialism, or it ISNT some Socialism. What i am saying is that when people get comfortable with Socialist policies, then more come around, soon bankrupting the nation. I have seen it happen over and over, and now this country is so far over the cliff, that one push can send it forever into never being able to recover.

We've tried rent control before.

It didn't work the last time either.

That comment needs an explanation.

Landlord propaganda. Talk about the millions of US businesss going under. Why dont you address THAT ?

Your cartoon picture should say excessive, gone wild capitalism (rental housing) shooting at capitalism, and capitalism already shot dead.

And I told you before about going OFF TOPIC.

It's been fine in New York City for many decades. Do you have any experience living in rent control housing ? I do. From birth to age 31. Everything fine.

Bidenomics, caused many people to struggle for the past 4 years. Landlords also struggled as i pointed out how my sister got royally screwed when COVID came and your savior government said that people didnt have to pay rent. Did you pay rent during that time, or were you delighted to get 6 months of rent free housing? Please enlighten all of US about that.

Maybe you should read your own contradictory posts. You have held NY up as an example of successful rent control. When I called you on it, you claimed they don't use rent control anymore. Hmmm. I wonder why they stopped. Could it be because it was a communist program that didn't work?

I paid rent every day. Some landlords didnt get paid for 6 months. And the rest of us business owners haven't gotten paid in 3 YEARS, because of the monstrous high rents those LLs have been charging. I havent sold a single painting or music lesson since March 2021, when the rents went waaaay up.

No, it was because guys like you bribed the city fathers. And I addressed everything you said including where you botched quoting me. See Post 427.

You better be careful with slandering folks doooooode. I vote for people that I think will maybe do what is good for the country. They aren't my friends and I don't talk to them AT ALL. Another thing--I don't even live in a village--so take your whining garbage down the road. FYI, go down and buy a sheet of CDX plywood and see what one costs. Before you whine about how you didn't need any--other tenants do and other tenants aren't always responsible and dependable. YOU put yourself in the position where YOU have to pay for these low lifes. I don't have to and other land owner don't have to either. Go talk to YOUR buddies in YOUR city hall and tell them to hold responsible parties accountable and maybe your rent won't rise to what the market will bear. Now go troll someone else with your monthly rant. I've said all I'm going to. You either have dementia or are intentionally obtuse.

Sure, it's a great idea, with absolutely no downside, but why just rent?

How about a five percent yearly cap on raising priced on any good or service?

Why, Biden could regulate Biden's inflation out of existance!

Eliminating student debt by fiat. Eliminating medical debt by fiat. Eliminating rent increases by fiat. Pretty soon you have a nice little fascist tyranny going. But the trains will run on time.

There might be other reasons for your lack of art sales. You have an excellent display here, perhaps the board would like to check it out.

Not a chance. His prices are too high. I think we ought to have price caps on painting--say 5% over cost of materials?

Yeah, I've looked at them and he isn't a bad painter if you like that style. They wouldn't fit with my decor.
