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

[bodecea]

Funny how the Right wants the government to step in when THEY have problems with capitalism.

 

[protectionist]

What I'm talking is NOT ECONOMICS.

That's for damn sure.

It is what the USA is supposed to be. A place where things are set up for the benefit of the American people,

And if you have to steal to do that......that's what you'll do.

Take your "market" and shove it.

Da, tovarisch.

Keeping things normal, instead of RENTS GONE WILD, is not stealing. The RENT GONE WILD is the stealing. Stop stealing, thief.

 

[protectionist]

It's about your misperception. And your feelz.

No, it is about my reporting of the facts, with you polluting the thread, by refusing to accept them, by injecting your personal brand of lunatic fringe.

Exactly! Against destructive government overreach....I must be a lunatic!

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

 

[protectionist]

I'm talking about the government fixing prices below the market.
About the bad things that happen when they do.
An Econ teacher would understand that.

FUCK the market. There IS NO market, you idiot. Whatever sensible market there ever was is obliterated, and what is left is 700 sq ft 1 bedroom apartments for $2,000/month, with the overwhelming % of the population unable to access them. Get it ?

I already showed my right politics, which next to them, you come off looking like Nancy Pelosi. Mr Joe Biden ass kisser.

OMG. Stopping shoebox apartments to rent for $2000/month, you call " government overreach". Wow! You are indeed a lunatic. You are SICK.

The right is in favor of "the government" to step in on MANY different ways (ex. ICE, state & local police activities, the military, stopping CRT, banning Affiramtive Action discrimination, etc)

PS - the left is also guilty of neglect on skyrocketing rents, and support runaway capitalism. Most blue states ban rent control.

How’s this for a compromise:

The local government imposes rent control and allows the landlord a credit for the difference.

Why should the landlord get a "credit" (at taxpayers' expense) for a $2000/month rent on a 700 sq ft shoebox ? He probably ought to be getting a jail cell.

Making a compromise is an assumption that these lunatic rents have a shred of validity. They don't.

Government should be the principal supplier of all our wants and needs.

 

[protectionist]

Government should be the principal supplier of all our wants and needs.

That's going too far. The Government should be our PROTECTIONIST.

Is. Ok. SO government should the principal supplier of only your wants and needs?

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.

 

[Rigby5]

Government should be the principal supplier of all our wants and needs.

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

 

[Rigby5]

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

Da, comrade!!

Whatever sensible market there ever was is obliterated, and what is left is 700 sq ft 1 bedroom apartments for $2,000/month, with the overwhelming % of the population unable to access them.

You should whine some more.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Stopping shoebox apartments to rent for $2000/month, you call " government overreach".

Yes, I do.

You silly leftard.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Government should be the principal supplier of all our wants and needs.

That would make protectionist happy.
