So basically this city council wants to force landlords to come to meetings to listen to these clowns complain about their high rent and if they don’t come, they will reduce their rent. Interesting. --24.152.xxx.xx

Reduce the rent from zero to ?? What less than zero? These cities are like branches on a tree fighting with each other. Can't possibly be a win situation. --172.58.xxx.xxx

City politicians think rent is too high so they implement new policy that will make it even more expensive. --209.16.xx.xxx

I don't know what you would get in a meeting except for tenants whining about how they deserve free rent and landlords not being financially able to provide it. --76.178.xxx.xxx

The Ts now want your real estate. Washington DC has TOPA which requires Ts to get first offer if you sell your RE. So Ts form a union, refuse to pay rent, scare off other buyers, then get your property for a song. They will be making you an offer you can't refuse. --174.65.x.xxx

Believe I had a T try to get an apartment building from me recently. RE was on a corner lot and his "friends" spent a lot of time on the corner. Ever watch "The Wire?" and the fight by drug dealers to control the corners? During the moratorium, he tried repeatedly to provoke me into hitting him so I avoided the building. After the Narcotics Task Force raided his apartment and hauled off boxes of cash and cocaine and weed, he got the eviction papers. Thinking he was trying the "Pacific Heights" scenario like Carter Hayes in the movie. Now they'll form T unions and force you to sell to them. --174.65.x.xxx

The socialist do not believe in private sector ownership of rental housing where the worst landlords in Canada are owned by the governments who are exempt from rent control. The plan is to devalue rental properties then take them over then suddenly rent control ends. Start off by reducing property taxes then pass the savings onto tenants. Stop government funding of extreme leftist groups then give tenants a rent reduction where the nutcases will have to get a real job or depend on tenants funding them. Here a tenant told me about a reactionary tenancy advocate group that is getting half million a year where the chairs are actually homeowners. That money could be used for affordable housing. Why would anyone go down to the lunatic asylum to get advise about housing and economics. There are already reactionary tenancy advocate groups so what is the purpose of a tenant union. --68.69.xxx.xxx

Robert, I rack my brain trying to figure out how you can see the Socialism in housing, but then embrace the Socialism the scamdemic so closely. How do you separate the two? --174.198.x.xx

The day after the Bolshevik revolution human nature did not change. If human nature was different then Socialism would work. Alcoholism and worlds oldest profession did not go away along some people are lazy. If turned over a apartment complex to the reactionary groups it would be like a Cinderella story where if lasted six months without going bankrupt. Some people think this is Socialist country where many of the provincial governments are run by progressive Conservatives where maybe in the next the federal will be progressive Conservative as well. Here it is between Europe and more right wing countries where there is universal medical care. The Socialist want to make everything more Socialist where everyone knows taxes are going to go up. The pandemic is causing a strain on health care as many of those in ICU are not vaccinated. Hopefully at the end of the month the lock down will be eased as the curve is flattening out. Governments are monitoring waste water to see if Omnicron is going down. --68.69.xxx.xxx
