Yes, I'm a Conservative, But SOME Rent Control IS Necesary

[danielpalos]

A case study could be obtained by maximizing port postal service operations to supply that capacity to the private sector and reduce costs to the private sector while generating revenue and providing for private sector capacity to meet demand when necessary. Supply side economics in action.

 

[protectionist]

Upgrading postal infrastructure means increasing supply for the private sector and revenue for the public sector. Economies of scale are what help control inflation. Supply side economics.

I have been allowing you and Winterborn to slug it out in your entirely OFF TOPIC chat fight, but it's about time to end that, and get on topic, and stop derailing the thread.

In case you've gone so far astray that you don't even know what we're talking about here, it is the CRISIS going on in Florida (and elsewhere) of overpopulation, excess demand leading to severe supply (of housing) shortage, and skyrocketing rents, with no rent control to control them
The focus of the thread is on the people MOST AFFECTED. That is NOT LANDLORDS. It is elderly, fixed income, low-income renters, being forced out of their HOMES, with really nowhere to go.

And I thought you were a strict capitalist.

 

[protectionist]

You paid for all that every month in your rent. You say it was low, but did you compare it to similar apartments without all those amenities? Unless your landlord was an idiot, they were much cheaper. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

What I was paying was the market price (rent). It was about the same all over, with the same typical amenities, and was that way for the whole 32 years I've been in the Tampa Bay area. Only NOW is everything changed, and outrageously. Some people are getting 100% rent increases.

Your opinion doesn't matter.

Congress is already delegated the social power;

To establish Post Offices and post Roads; "along with Post canals and Ports."

It’s granted by the constitution. But it diesnt say congress has to fund it.

Never have been. America has been a socialist/capitalist combined society since the 1930s. Has been that way all my life.

So that's why you're always bleating "Communists and Socialists".

 

[AZrailwhale]

That is the whole point of the upgrade, to generate revenue. Only right-wingers seem to eschew Capitalism every time it comes up.

That’s not capitalism, it’s cronyism. The ports are mostly privately operated.

 

[protectionist]

Market prices change.

I don't give a rats ass what a market price is. People having a place to live and basically survive, is more important that any market. If the market causes people to go homeless (as it is doing just that), then we need to adjust the market (rent caps), to PROTECT the people. Notice my display name ?

1. I didn't say I supported Communists (internationalist globalists).
2. I never said I supported only capitalism (without ANY socialism mixture).

Have you tried to do this process to get a price range for buying a home?

Have you contacted a Realtor to ask for advice and to help you look for a home?

Have you considered moving to a rural area where it is cheaper?

Do you have friends that can help you move?


You have got to go to a cheaper area. The inflation in this country is only going to get worse. If you don't then you will be homeless. You could even opt for looking at camp ground prices and a travel trailer that a dang Tow Truck can haul if you have to.

What HAVE YOU DONE TO TRY THESE OPTIONS?

When you started off claiming you are a conservative, your topic became a moot point. You aren't. You want a nanny state.

Feel free to report me.

The market is telling you to get a roommate.

There are cheaper markets, find one.

Thanks for this very fine information. I worry about about the closing costs though. For many people closing cost of $50 above the monthly payment would be too much. For others, the monthly payment itself would be too much.

And what about age ? Were I live, almost everyone is over 70. Some over 80. Will they live to be 100, to pay off a long term note ?

1. No, I did NOT say I did (give a rat's ass about a market price, and I don't.

2. Screw the market. I don't care what it says, It is subordinate to the needs of the American people. And I'll never have a roommate.

3. NO, there are NOT cheaper markets, at least not within geographical range, without having to pay excessive moving costs. I was thinking of going to Johnson City, TN, until I found out it was $800 to move my 10 pieces of furniture, and that is without paying for guys to lift the furniture.

How about if Toddsterpatriot and surada do some posting about the focal point of the thread ? >> Old, people on low, fixed incomes, forced out of their homes, while unable to have anywhere to go ?
