Why are landlords given free rein to cripple the economy by pricing workers out of important major cities ?

[Wild self]

Its supply and demand. Landlords will raise prices to go along with the demand. Like selling a rare card that you know a lot of people want, you’ll inflate the price if you put it up for sale.

The question is, why arent there any laws to redo zoning or rate increase limits

Prices will drop when landlords get clapped.

Unchecked capitalism

We need to be building wayyy more housing in every city

So many forgotten/neglected neighborhoods in every city. What you run up against is the NIMBY crowd. So if we cant build new mullti-family housing in certain areas, cities should look to those underutilized areas (you know, the ones with preexisting roads, utilities etc ) and work to redevelop them.

 

[Paper Boi]

because this country got its priorities fukked up

 

[Brandsdale]

housing is no longer a right, it is deemed as a priviledge. This is something landlords can easily leverage have been doing for years.

 

[I Really Mean It]

at some point, no one but the super wealthy will be able to live in these cities. it’s unsustainable and damaging to the character of the nation.

we’re headed towards the society depicted in elysium.

dont have issue with breh.. sure he worked to get where hes at.. the issue is the market itself and the corps that run it...notice he said the "management company he used told him to raise it"..

It's greed pure and simple that's just a cop out.

This video opened up a lot for me. Cost of living not only drives poor ppl out it drives everyone out. This literally destroys cities. Why are landlords allowed to do this

Because you can do anything you want if you own something.

And people are free to be greedy

And people are free to be greedy

Yes and humanity will suffer for it. Hence lack of spiritual knowledge. We live in a vein era. Nobody really cares about the concept of greater good.

People are living short lives and trying to enjoy it as much as possible. And if that’s making 200k vs making 70k in a year, they gonna do that

If that’s better for them and their family, who exactly is the greater good they need to focus on? Is it better to have money for your kids to go to college or ensure some random worker can pay $1200 a month

Sounds like a drug dealer that gets clapped up young.

Landlords and enablers of them need to be beheaded at the state.

 

[Tupac in a Business Suit]

I’m actually mad confused as to how the average American is a “boss” but allows themselves to get fukked over with exorbitant rent/mortgages

America is a county of pussies fr

You on point.

America loves its guns and the legal system Which protects and rewards cowardice.

 

[YvrzTrvly]

What does this mean

Zay I fukk with you but honestly this is the issue.

Zoning, assessment, and land usage is fundamental knowledge required to even begin discussing this point.

Proper zoning and equitable housing essentially nullifies the point of the landlord after a period of time passes.

Regular people don't own 1-2 rental properties...

Regular people make 30k, do service work and live check to check
