It's Happening Again - Homes Lost - Some Rent Control Needed

[Toddsterpatriot]

No, the problem is the landlords have a monopoly that has to be broken up.
The best way is for government to subsidize the construction of new housing, with controlled rents or sale prices.
As long as people are prevented from living in parks, under bridges, etc., then we have to ensure another alternative.

Monopoly? How many landlords make up the monopoly? Over a million? Over 5 million?

What would that do? Increase the number of monopoly landlords?

Only if the market fails.
Otherwise, it is better to keep government bureaucracy to a minimum.

Maybe we should add free rent to the Geneva Convention?

We could put it after your imaginary section on trade sanctions.

Wrong.
Government has to watch out for and provide fair competition to unfair monopolies.

Fair, according to you?

Forgive me, but I've read enough of your posts to know better. Near as I can tell, you think government should pretty much be running everything.

At the same time, he thinks our government should be overthrown.

The way I hear it, the socialist/statist's logic goes like this: government is colluding with business, therefore we need to grant government more power to collude with business.

No one could accuse them of being intelligent.

I don't give a shit where you move. Hopefully somewhere that you stop whining.

Hopefully somewhere without Internet access.

Of course. It's mind boggling how anybody could disagree with that.

Right you are again, and in Florida we have the classic case of market failure.

 

[protectionist]

Yes, I do.

You silly leftard.

Yes, you do. That's because you are a greed freak, vested interest landlord, who doesn't belong in this thread. You are neither left or right. You are lunatic.

 

[protectionist]

That would make protectionist happy.

No, dummy, and if you had read the thread, you would see that I ready disagreed with him. But then honesty hasn't been your forte in here.

The way I hear it, the greed freak's logic goes like this: let us do ANYTHING we want, regardless of the negative impact on millions of people.

1. The number is enough of them to consolidate all rents of a particular region into one unaffordable level, abandoning the American poor & middle class.

2. What it would do is keep rents at levels that most people can pay, and prevent people from going homeless.

Exaggerating only makes you look silly, and reduces your credibility.

 

[protectionist]

Fair, according to you?

And the overwhelming majority of Americans.

That has NOTHING to do with what I said. You have an exaggeration defect too. Your credibility is eroding. I said nothing about anything being free. Paying $600 or $700/mo, rather than $1-5,000/mo isnt having something "free".

 

[protectionist]

He's not the Right, just another whiney liberal.

Forgetting so soon ? Maybe you need to be told again >>

I am one of the MOST Conservative posters this forum has ever had >>

1. I'm for mass deportation of all illegal aliens, and imprisonment of sanctuary city/state public officials.
2. Islam is banned in America by the Supremacy Clause. Therefore, all mosques should be shut down. All Korans eliminated.
3. Affirmative Action should be banned nationwide, and whites should be paid reparations$$, for 57 years of racial discrimination victimization.
4. CCW should be the law nationwide.
5. Gun free zones should be abolished.
6. Teachers should be trained and armed.
7. Police shootings that sparked riots, were mostly justified homicide.
8. Military equipment for police is a good idea.
9. Police budgets should be increased.
10. Homosexuals are sex pervert lunatics.
11. Tran sexual men should not be permitted to compete in women sports. And stop referring to them as she and her.
12. Gay "pride" is a coverup for gay shame (what is there to be proud of ?)
13. The 2020 election was stolen by massive fraud. Trump is the true POTUS.
14. The SCOTUS should uphold the Mississippi 15 week abortion law. Roe vs Wade should die.
15. Trump had the most extensive list of positive accomplishments of any president in US history.

I've posted 45,000 posts in this forum for 8 years. I am well known here as a staunch conservative, and solid Trump supporter. When you mischaracterize, all you do is shatter your credibility (if you ever had any). And lots of liberals oppose rent control, with most blue states having laws against it. You don't know what you're talking about.
