I just moved off that exact street less than a block down from where they’re filming because they raised our rent more than $500.

Plenty of room at the Methadone Mile?

Why do we keep pretending the US housing market hasn’t been manipulated by greedy corporations? Housing difficulties and prices began rising very quickly after the beginning of the pandemic and during the covid quarantine – the times when people would NOT be moving from their current homes. The supply chain was disrupted, yes, but that’s not the main reason prices soared.

The real estate corporations began artificially raising both prices and demand by using bot programs that artificially raised prices by drastically outbid individual home owners for housing. Those corporations are the ones who raised prices and decreased availability, and then they “flipped” the corporate purchases at prices far above what home owners could afford.

Why the fuck should people move when they find something reasonable? The moment the next person move is the the moment they increase the rent on the next tenant. Why is nobody protesting this? Rent should never be this high

Nobody cares about those freeloaders.
