In other words the Democrats are passing laws to prevent slumlord from screwing over their tenants and the Republicans are mad about it.
I predict that we will see massive public housing projects like they have in Chicago and New York because we have seen what huge successes those have been.

Landlords and apartment managers and maintenance personnel with keys.Nobody is screwing anybody. I have a place for rent for X money. You want to rent my unit for X money. We make a deal we are both happy with
Gun-grabbing landlords, security personnel on the take, and city cops planting evidence for parallel construction and all whistling the same tune in solidarity with the police union and the democrat party.If you don't like the deal, you are free to decline the offer. But if you accept the offer, how is anybody getting screwed?
Like health care or access to health care, those on the left are currently calling housing a “human right.” The National Economic and Social Rights Initiative (NESRI) says, “It is the government’s obligation to guarantee that everyone can exercise this right to live in security, peace, and dignity.” The book, In Defense of Housing argues against what it calls the commodification of housing, meaning the same thing: everyone is entitled to some kind of housing.
Prediction For 2030: A Government Take-Over of Rental Housing By Roger Valdez
So there's a restaurant waitress who is roommates with a cleaning lady who has access to your kitchen at any hour of the day or night? And you owe her a tip for the privilege. Nice.3/4 cup of fresh wholesome milk, and mix that with 1/4 cup of sour curdled milk, you only have one thing, and that is a cup of bad milk
Better example would be a maximum wage instead of the minimum. That would get their attention. I propose a maximum wage of X.
Oh absolutely! And somehow they find other ways to get and keep their corporate compensation, while the maximum wage lid is lowered on the general population.Are you serious? Democrats would like nothing better than that, especially for higher paid executives, managers and particularly CEO"s.
You want?Good grief man, you want guns to be a fundamental right but not food, a place to live, and basic healthcare?
Of course. Congress - government in general, but especially the federal legislature - has an insatiable appetite for power.As the moratorium on evictions has expired, we're going to see the government get more involved in this.
When government presumes responsibility for providing its "subjects", or when people talk about having their needs provided for as though it's right, liberty is in jeopardy. And that sure is happening.
Of course not. The democrats have been screaming for a $15 minimum wage all while advocating for limiting what housing can rent for. A maximum wage is no different. What would they say to an employer who said "Sorry dude, the government says you can only charge McD's $5 an hour to flip burgers?" It is the same as rent control. Wage and price controls were used to combat inflation during the Nixon administration--they didn't work then and they won't work now. It is completely contrary to the free market.Are you serious? Democrats would like nothing better than that, especially for higher paid executives, managers and particularly CEO"s.
Whatever happened to parental responsibility--Oh yeah, that's racist.That's why the author of this piece is pretty spot on. We started with the school lunch program. Then it was breakfast and lunch. Then it was breakfast, lunch and dinner. But then came the tragedy of what will kids do when school is out of session? So some areas opened up the school during summer to serve them food all day long year round.
Whatever happened to parental responsibility--Oh yeah, that's racist.
An able bodied man — or even a woman — who has access to a hammer and nails, lumber, a few building materials shouldn't be considered "homeless."Like health care or access to health care, those on the left are currently calling housing a “human right.”
Say a farmer plants grain, fruit trees, runs a few cattle, shouldn't be starving or at risk for failing to meet his own needs.Good grief man, you want guns to be a fundamental right but not food, a place to live, and basic healthcare?
If landlords are "getting out of the market" by selling residential properties, it's because it's currently a seller's market with inflated property values. Thus, they're getting a better return on the investment property by selling it than by holding and renting. Enterprising investors will get back into the rental market on the other side of the bubble when they can pick up residential properties at much lower prices. That's the way the market works.
Has nothing to do with some feel-good desire to sell to people who want to make it their home. Lol. Altruism is not a factor in investments.
I would say it's just the opposite, especially in desired neighborhoods. The last time I advertised was about six years ago in the middle of winter where I get very few replies. I came to my email the next day with at least a dozen, some even saying they will take the apartment sight unseen. Others offered me a double security deposit, and two people offered to pay more rent than I was asking for. In the 25 years I've been doing this, I never seen anything like it before. You would have thought I was offering beach side property in California for $400.00 a month.
When I selected my tenants, they thanked me profusely. They were on the search for an apartment for seven months. They said there were landlords that were charging 30% more than I was asking, getting half as much, and they still couldn't get the place.
After doing some research, I learned it was a trend across the country. The housing collapse played a part, but a larger part was younger people don't want to deal with home ownership any longer. They don't want to deal with a leaky roof, a defective hot water tank, taking care of the grass during the summer and driveway full of snow in the winter. If they do have a problem, they just want to make one phone call and problem solved.
As more and more of our younger people attend college and become less industrious, I don't see this reversing anytime soon. If anything, it will only grow worse for renters.
That and the fact that housing starts have not reached pre 2009 levels since. There is very little inventory and the population has increased over that 12 years. There are few markets in the country where the purchase price of a home isn't more than the asking price. Real estate is a hot commodity.House beside me sold in 3 days of being listed. They idea that people aren't looking to buy isn't the condition on the ground today. Everybody looking to get those 2.5% mortgages while they still can.
Good grief man, you want guns to be a fundamental right but not food, a place to live, and basic healthcare?
