It's so rare that you know the solution before you have even identified the problem. The rot that afflicts our once-prosperous empire has many indicia. The problems that beset it are manifold and defy reform or even admitting the possibility of reform. But the solution is readily apparent: blood in the streets.

I understand executing a few bankers, that's fine, but landlords? Come on now. Remember the inscription: nothing in excess.

after spending all morning looking at apartment listings in advance of this year's anticipated annual 15% rent increase, I add my support to karphead's motion.

every economist i read about claims that there are downward forces on rent and that the price is elastic but nobody has written the piece i want to read, which is the one that explains how turning real estate into the only way for rich people to store wealth and real estate owners acting like a de facto cartel means the prices don't go down until a natural disaster, war, or race riot

one of the many unfortunate things about how corporations work is that all of the nativists have no idea whether it is rich han/qatari/whatever nationals that owns all the real estate in their area or not

i feel like if it was JOHNNY CHINESE INC people would be a lot more concerned about whether or not it is a good idea to allow the speculative/investment market to determine the price of such an important aspect of life on earth

"Many of this group were the last people you would imagine finding there: a teenage girl who worked at John Lewis; an 18-year-old Essex boy who was an apprentice chef in Chessington World of Adventures. In an ideal world they would want an en-suite, with enough sockets for a hairdryer, straighteners, dryer and a flat-screen TV. Instead they found themselves in a damp, tiny room with electricity for three hours a day. There was only one reason these people were there: money. For their rooms they paid up to £360 a month, but mostly in the mid-£200s. There were no bills, but there were no services either; it was all off-grid.

How can someone charge £360 a month in a dwelling without running water, central heating or adequate sanitation facilities? Because the crippling costs of renting in London mean many people simply cannot raise enough money to secure decent accommodation."

I don't know about your awful country, but in my awful country they could supposedly withhold rent while still living there until those problems were remedied. Meanwhile, in real life, good luck going up against the slumlords.
