    • @KevinSmith-qi5yn
      @KevinSmith-qi5yn Місяць тому +3

      Nationwide homelessness is down. Its only in a couple democrat super majority states where homelessness is spiking.
      This is due to the nature of different political philosophies. The current philosophy of the Democratic Party puts emphasis on grandiose projects that cost a lot of money, take a lot of time, and often don't work out. Things like high-speed rail, ending fossil fuels, and giant city halls. The current philosophy of the Republican Party puts emphasis on maintaining existing infrastructure. Things like potholes get filled, fire risk areas get maintained, and healthy small development projects get done.
      Realistically, a mix of both needs to get done at the local level and would be if the parties were not hyper partisan right now. Places with a single party rule have issues, San Diego only recently became single party rule. Places with Democrats in control fall apart. Places with Republicans in control stagnate. Unfortunately, being a hyper partisan gaslighting politician gets you elected today. If you are a moderate or work across the aisle you get ousted.

      The only way to decrease rent in San Diego is to destroy the equity in people's homes and property in the region. Something most San Diego residents are not willing to do. If we build adequate supply, home equity in the region will collapse by 75%. The public infrastructure to support a million new housing units would also take several decades for the current local government to address since they would need to spend several billion in environmental impact studies first.

    So she brought them the listing and was able to get that price.
    The whole scenario made no sense.

    “Market Average” 😂😂 I doubt these companies are doing market surveys with their competition. I’ve speculated for years most of these owners and managers just make up prices because they know what you won’t pay someone else will. The brand new building next door is $2500 for a 1 bedroom? Well so are we even though our building was built in 73 and never renovated. Charging what other buildings in the area charge shouldn’t be considered a “market average,” they should be comparing to similar units.

  • @MrSethmo13
    @MrSethmo13 Місяць тому

    Hi, devil’s advocate here. There are a couple of points I would like to make.
    First, one of the tenants featured in this video complained that the landlord should not raise the rent because the tenant is in financial difficulty and would have trouble paying the elevated rent. Is this an assertion that a party‘s personal financial circumstances should play a role in determining the rent? If that were how things worked, then if a tenant could afford to pay more rent, then the tenant would have to pay more rent. If the landlord were in a state of financial dire straits and needs more money from the tenant, then the landlord would be able to raise the rent. Is this the world that you want to live in? The answer is obviously “no”. Each party’s financial circumstances is irrelevant. All that matters when determining the rent is what the area average rent is because this is a reflection of supply and demand. This is the only factor that should impact the rent, not the tenant‘s impoverished condition.
    Second, contrary to the giant poster we saw in the video, housing is actually NOT a human right. If it were, the government would provide housing for everyone. But because it’s not a human right, but rather, a human need, it is each human’s
    responsibility to fulfill their own needs and provide their own housing for themselves. When the assertion is made that housing is “a human right“, the unspoken assumption is that the landlord has an obligation to provide it to the tenant for free. As if it is the landlord‘s responsibility to fulfill the tenant‘s need. This is not the case. Basically, one person’s financial dire straits does not entitle that person to the contents of somebody else’s wallet. The fact that a tenant needs a place to live does not mean that it is the landlord’s obligation to provide it at a price that the tenant can afford.
    Finally, when stated in isolation, the fact that the landlord raised rent as much as stated in the video sounds awful, but only until you realize that the initial rent was well below the market price in the region. In other words, this landlord was just trying to catch up to break even, not trying to price gouge or take advantage of tenants.
