Well, since I'm old enough (78) to be your great grandfather, I'll give you some advice. never say that you "own" another poster, When you do, it is clear that that other poster owns you.
But that was clear a few posts ago, when you tried to pass the silly idea that "rent control destroys housing". Advice # 2 - Never make false claims known to be false by millions of people.
Advice # 3 - never debate something you know nothing about, and the other person is an expert on thet subject.
The building I was raised in, in the Fort George neighborhood of upper Manhattan (New York City) was built in 1908.
And I lived in it from 1946 to 1967 (visited it until 1977). Never heard of any shortages of anything. Same with dozens of other buildings throughout the neighborhood. All rent controlled, no shortages, no buildings abandoned. Nothing destroyed. Everything now as it was 75 years ago.
This is a recent picture of the street (Ellwood St - 197 St) that I grew up in, in the 1940s & 50s. If this picture were taken then, it wouldn't look one iota different than it looks right here in the 2020s.
In case anybody's interested, the castle at the top of the picture is "The Cloisters" which is a castle/monestary imported from France/Spain, and built at the top of Fort Tryon Park It is the medieval branch of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art.
You also hung yourself by claiming my 2 businesses to be "BULLSHIT"

Great job of making a total FOOL out of yourself. Everyone in this forum can easily see that. Things aren't the way you would like them to be just by you saying it. When you grow up, you'll find that out, junior.
HA HA. The more you talk, the more your extreme immaturity glares from this page. Ho hum. yawn****
Landlords don't need to raise a rent from $600/mo to $1600/mo (110) apartments, to deal with a tax increases, or anything else.
Also landlords are not the topic. All other businesses are. I see lots of businesses being forced out of business. I dont see that happening to landlords.
Bad, but not as much as the rents.

Inflation has to show up somewhere in the C.O.L.Unbelievable apartment rent increases of hundreds of $$$ per month, are tearing US businesses to shreds. In my own case, I was paying $600/month 3 years ago Te rent went waaay up and I movd out. That apartment is now $1600/mo for renovated, $1200 unrenovated.
So I moved out, and I now am in a better place, but I'm paying $1,014/month. So I now have $414 LESS to spend every month, than in 2021. $4,968 less per year. There goes the nice new violin and mandolin I was going to buy. Same thing for hundreds of other musical instrument buyers in my area. So guess what > our main musical instrument store (Sam Ash) closed up & went out of business, nationwide. They had been in business for exactly 100 years.
Guess who else is closing down stores. > Walgreens. No, they don't sell musical instruments, but what they do sell cost money too, and a significant part of their customer base now has hundreds of $$$ LESS per month, to buy things with.

Actually it's the municipalities who continue to raise the property taxes on the landlords in an effort to recover the value of inflated money.
Certainly, but I highly doubt the municipalities are raising taxes THAT MUCH, to cover their increased costs. $1000-1500/month ? No.
So the businesses do (even after 100 years of success)
Well I never, my mate came up and we went out for a bite to eat and a few beers. Long story short, him and his wife do little 3 to 5 days jaunts around different EU countries. He told us hold he looks for a really cheap flight to a country, and then uses Hotels.com to book a hotel, they just use taxi's for the transfer. I didn't know but the more you use Hotels.com, you get points/credit, so he gets great deals. But anyhow, conversation got onto food and he was showing me pics of the types of seafood they eat in the likes of Spain and Portugal. Because I keep a billion things in my head, one thing was this socialism discussion in this thread. As soon as he mentioned Portugal, I asked, "So what's Portugal like?". No word of a lie, on my sons lives, he said, "The people are all poor, but they rely on tourism, it's cheap, and they all speak English".
