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

[Oldstyle]

Guy's the bottom line is this. If you rent...you only control that space for the duration of the rent agreement you and your landlord have agreed to. You don't OWN the property! Moving is a total pain in the ass...trust me I get that...but the market will always determine rents. If you don't own something then you have to understand that you are at the mercy of that market for good or for bad! If the landlord raises the rent more than you think is right...move to an apartment that is cheaper. If more people move out than stay...the landlord is punished as well as you. They'll be forced to lower their rents. It is what it is. What you have to understand is that imposing rent control has it's own pitfalls. You may find you like those even less than having to move.

Having to Decide between Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee.... great planning

Red state paradise.

I'm just shocked they haven't tried to sing the praises of Arkansas or Mississippi; yet. True story. I have pretty much decided that if we make a forage into a new place, we try to stay at Hyatt Hotels. I trust them (barely) to be pretty consistent in terms of cleanliness and service. Anyway....one of the things that I'm looking into was the Air BNB market as an alternative to hotels. Haven't done it yet but am interested. The Air BNB rentals for 3 days in some parts of Tennessee and northern Mississippi were cheaper than the Hyatt in Memphis. I could imagine what the houses looked like.

You mean beautiful antebellum homes with friendly, gracious hosts? Yeah, that would be tough.

Yeah...right

Rent control is an absolute disaster wherever it is implemented, no matter what the justification or rationalization, i.e. "some rent control."

It is the government creating laws to help the privileged few at the expense of property owners and everyone else.

It's typical statist socialist/fascist failure.

We have property tax control here, and the GOP is trying to end it. Most of our tax increases are due for millages.

If you move to S.C., I recommend an English-to-Hick dictionary. Or master the seven basic grunts so you can effectively communicate

More geographic bigotry. These South Carolinians could out debate you in a minute.

That is the reason I would never move to SC and other reasons.

The OP is NOT a conservative.

You guys always claim that whenever one of your own slips.the leash.

The tax on our property.http://www.pawpaw.net/Portals/38/docs/michiganproptax.pdf

We voted to have the sales tax increased and the cap put on property tax.

I could name a few that fit that description. But I think that would be a waste of time.

unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed is more market friendly. the more participation in markets the greater the potential for the accuracy of better products at potentially lower cost.

Why provide rent control instead of more market participation for more people to help pay for more housing?

Unemployment compensation for people who quit their jobs or just refuse to work is lunacy. It is rewarding laziness. Unemployment compensation is meant to hold people over until they get another job. It was never meant to be a career.

the money has already been supplied; Labor has to "soak up that supply to circulate it".

You don't believe in Capitalism? The minimum wage would be fifteen an hour, not fourteen equivalent for being unemployed. Market participants should self-select based on Market conditions.

I believe in capitalism. I also believe in actually addressing what was said in the post I quote.

Nothing you just posted has anything to do with your plea for unemployment compensation to be doled out to those who voluntarily quit their job or refuse to work. Want money? Get a job.

Thank you for your support of the Left wing not Right wing policy, by having nothing but fallacy instead of a capitally fine and capitally wonderfully due to being valid, argument.

Please point out where I have said anything about minimum wage. I can wait. Oh yeah, I haven't.

Unemployment compensation is not for people who quit a job voluntarily or refuse to get a job. That will not change. You don't get to draw a check and sit on your ass in your parent's house.
