      1. I have nothing against Boston, it's a fine city, I like it, but also I can't imagine any brain calculation that would lead me to pay "$2,700 a month. 'Heat/ hot water not included,'" to live there. This is all so crazy. apnews.com/article/business-lifestyle-us-news-miami-florida-a4717c05df3cb0530b73a4fe998ec5d1?utm_source=pocket-newtab

      Honestly, rent stabilization should be a national policy and it should be applied to every unit. There's really no societal good that comes from a landlord being able to jack up your rent over 20% overnight.

      What McDonalds workers should have to get by on minimum wage but Oh No Not Landlords Landlords Can't Get By On Minimum Rent-seeking!? Fk Landlords. Honest to god I can't summon up a single tear for someone who looks at a property and jacks up the rent more than 3% a year.

          And imagine living in Arizona and knowing the Powers That Be hate your guts so much that they actually passed laws to *prevent you from getting rent protections from your municipality*. WTF?!

            One of the things that I've come to realize from living in NYC is that unless you are genuinely rich it is literally unsafe to live in a non-stabilized apartment and the fact that it isn't a national law, or even a city-wide law, is a crime against human rights.

              (And yes, I'm aware that the article linked posting I referred to at top was a joke, but it doesn't matter, there are properties priced like that in Boston right now)
