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

Thank God!!!

Your liberal whining is beyond tiresome.
Oh well if you can't tolerate people exercising their constitutional rights (and responsibility) then you could find a country where that isnt part of the scenario.
I hear Syria is not too hot this time of they year. Cuba ?
 
What part of any deal anybody is, is a matter of what the American people, or the people of a state or city want it to be.
No, the American people can't be a part of all deals. I've tried to make some things clear to you but you're not into learning. You're not even making sense.
 
Not when this is going on ALL OVER the Tampa Bay area, and all over the state. It is a result of overpopulation and housing saturation, that landlords are raising rents sky-high, for 2 reasons. Greed, and the lack of anything to stop them.

Wolves can't be expected to stop attacking sheep. But the ranchers should be expected to stop the wolves.
Maybe you should have bought your own house.
 
Since the 1930s, the US has been a blend of capitalism & socialism. I was born in 1946, in New York City. I grew up in a rent controlled apartment (whole city had rent control, and it still does today)
Good for you! You're one of the lucky ones because the news and a lot of people are saying that there have been huge rent increases. That's somewhat true in Canada too.
 
FALSE! It is both belonging to the landlord AND belonging to the tenant.

Landlords are not alone in having some responsibility for the well-being of the PEOPLE whose lives they deal with. Business owners of drug companies have to be sure that their drugs are not harmful. They also sometimes violate that (ex. Viiox). Car companies need to make sure their cars are safe to be on the road. Building constructers have to keep their materials strong enough to prevent build collapse.

All these business owners have to be careful when they have a business that deals with people's lives. They choose to be in that type of business, then they undergo the work of keeping it consistent with the well-being of the people who use their product or service. They can't just go full-throttle, gung-ho unrestrained, however they feel like it, just because it makes more money for them.

Government officials who support anti-rent control laws should also consider the harm that is falling on non-real estate businesses, who suffer, as well as middle & low income renters. It's a much bigger issue than just landlords and renters.

The $350/mo more in rent that tenants pay, is $350/mo LOSS IN SALE$ for other businesses (multiplied by thousands). Time for those businesses to get off their asses, and say something.

It is both belonging to the landlord AND belonging to the tenant.

Damn, that's hilarious!!!

Very liberal of you to feel that way.

Business owners of drug companies have to be sure that their drugs are not harmful.

Unsafe rentals need to be fixed. Doesn't mean landlords should be forced to give you
a below market rate living space.

Safe products are different than charging you less than they want.

They can't just go full-throttle, gung-ho unrestrained, however they feel like it, just because it makes more money for them.

Landlords can, even if it makes you whine like a little bitch.

Boohoo.

You absolutely have the constitutional right to whine like a little bitch.

Cuba has rent control. Let me know how that works out for you.
Probably about as well as it worked at Cabrini Green in Chicago.

1. Not liberal, just common sense.
2. "Market" rate my ass. For housing, the market is secondary to survival.
3. They can, but they shouldnt, and they are creating "communities" filled with non-American migrants, who have no connection to America, and couldn't care less about it. About the same as if we had lost World War 2.
4. That's why we need to kick your asses.

I buried your dopey :whine" word" some posts ago. You and your tantrums are the one who's whining (about rent control).

Never heard of Cabrini Green- couldnt care less what happened there. Five states and hundreds of cities in America have had rent control. How it works out for landlords there, is they've been in business for 100 years. :biggrin:

Maybe you're just to dumb to figure it out, out you don't have knowledge of all the criterea involved here. So the American people should have no say in what happens to their capability to have housing ? Why would that be ?

Got other threads to attend to. No time to waste on answering nonsense postings.

We need to boot 20 million illegal aliens, to start.

And you need to stop pretending you're conservative.

I doubt it.

No, of course not. But you have to understand how capitalism works, because your country subscribes to it!
Why would that be ?
Why would what be? I think you're going to come to an understanding that rent cotrols aren't consistent with a purely capitalist system. And from there it's an easy next step to understanding how socialism needs to be a part too. Are rent controls 'socialist' policy or are they dictatorial?

Suit yourself. If you can grasp what I'm telling you then it won't be nonsense to you anymore.
 
You ass. I've WORKED all my life. In machine shops, in motels, etc. I've NEVER gamed a system. You have no idea what the hell you're talking about. I served in the US Army + Army National Guard - I was combat engineer. I built M4T6 bridges - hardest work there ever has been in America.

What have YOU done ? Invested your money, and then sit on your lazy ass, while the profits roll in ?

Keeping housing rents from going up 50-100% in a single bound, is not gaming a system. It is keeping thieving, greedy landlords from destroying millions of peoples' lives, you blockhead.
Listen you short sighted parasite, I have worked a similar track to yours. The difference, I thought about the future and planned for a secure future without going on the dole or expecting someone to provide for me. If you don't like the cost of rent, then LEAVE. No one has forced you to stay. If you had thought ahead and were willing to put up with the head aches and parasites, you could have been a landlord. Cry me a fucking river, loser.
 
Cannot move to anywhere relatively close by. Housing market is SATURATED. There is no rental housing available, that is anything close to affordable. In my case, I don't even have a car, and believe me, I'm not the only one.
Gee! You're experiencing capitalism! Have you heard about supply and demand?

Is it fine the way it is or are you somehow hinting at the need for more control over the capitalist system?

If that happens, will it be socialism/communism or will it be dictatorial coming from government?

I wonder how Canada would handle your issue?

Gee! I have an idea!

We need government control. Of everything. For our own good.

No you don't. Even socialists don't want that. You want some control over capitalism. Just read C.A., the pissant's screeching where he believes the only option is to move somewhere else if rents are too high. How incredibly ignorant! But there's no way of reaching his sorry ass because he flies into a fit of rage when anybody tries to tell him anything.
 
It's happening again. 2 years ago I and hundred of others in my apartment complex were forced out of our homes (apartments), when a new landlord bought the complex we were living in, and immediately raised our rents from $550/month to $900/month (for a 1 bedroom).

Now the complex I'm living in (which I came to, to escape from the previous one), has also been bought, and this new owner, like in the other complex, has also raised the rents very high. From $600/month to $850/mo.

There are certain things to take note of here. This is not a typical apartment complex. Although there is no age restriction, almost all the residents here are senior citizens, retired, and on LOW fixed incomes. Many do not own a car. Must are unable to move, and the housing market here (Tampa, FL) is such that there simply is no place to move to around here that is less than about $900/mo for 1 bdrm. Most residents are trapped here, and either cannot pay the new rent, or like myself, can just barely pay it, and still cover other necessities.

So one greed freak, ignoring the fact that the complex is much more than just HIS business, it is also the homes of hundreds of people, looks at this as nothing but a lucrative cash cow to manipulate, just for him.

So now we get to the real crux of all this. It comes down to what government is. Why it exists. It is here for the PROTECTION of the people. It is FOR the people. As much as l respect business ownership and private enterprise (I owned my own business for 12 years in the past), I recognize that business owners should not be be allowed to do ANYTHING. Rights of private property must have limits where the public would be excessively burdened to the point of some people becoming homeless.

As is the case with any business, owners cannot be allowed to do anything at all. Amusement park owners must comply with regulations that keep their roller coasters and other rides, safe. Builders must meet codes that restrict asbestos and other carcenogenic materials, and those that would allow buildings to collapse.

It should be noted that unlike musical instruments, fishing equipment, computers, and stuff that are not necessities, housing is among the group of things that people HAVE TO HAVE. That makes its position unique, relative to government Only food is as essential. And when there is no alternative, the public should be protected by business price gouging. Gasoline, food, housing, electricity, and other necessities do require SOME degree of regulation.

Let's hear what some people who are in this predicament have to say, not those who own homes and don't face danger of becoming homeless. THis is far more than just somebody's economic ideology, who has no personal housing worries. Th reason why this is in Health & Lifestyle is because the residents who are in serious peril, are the point of reference in this thread, not those involved in business investment.


Who cares? Stop your whining.

Their ain't no such thing as a free lunch and life ain't fair.

Nobody owes you a damn thing. Go find another $500 a month apartment if you don't want to pay for the one you are living in.

If you or the other people can't afford a decent place to live then they should have worked harder and prepared for their retirement better.

I am a retiree on a fixed income that is being fucked by Biden's inflation so I have no sympathy for other people's whining. I also get screwed with higher taxes and higher fees for other things. That is life.

At least I have enough in 401K where I can make up for the lost in purchasing power but my children and grandchildren that would have inherited it will get screwed all because of bad government.
