Why Meat Eaters Might Pay Higher Rent
realtor.com ^ | 10-16-15 | Lisa Davis

A landlord who cares deeply about your health? Well, that’s the story, anyway. Jinesh Varia, who is renting out a three-bedroom townhouse with a fireplace and a Jacuzzi tub in Bothell, WA, a Seattle suburb, is offering a $200 discount on the $2,200 monthly rent to prospective tenants who pledge not to eat meat. Is it a canny attempt to publicize his rental property with a nifty discount? Or a blatant effort to blast the word about his favorite cause, environmental activism via vegetarianism? Well, maybe it’s a bit of both.

Varia is a member of Vegetarians of Washington, a nonprofit group dedicated to improving “the health and well-being of people and the world we live in, both by encouraging mainstream Americans to discover the advantages and pleasures of vegetarian food.”

He likens his preference for herbivores to no-smoking policies, though he concedes that those are generally put in place to preserve the property from stinking—far more than to reduce lung cancer.

Varia is moving out of his 1,566-square foot townhouse not because of an influx of meat-chomping neighbors, but because his 9-month-old baby has started crawling and the place isn’t fully childproof.

“preserve the property from stinking”?
If that’s a reason, he would be much happier if I ate a burger than if I ate beans, cabbage, and brussel sprouts.

Liberals can get away with this sh1t.

Try a renting discount to people who wont have homosexual sex, to be healthier. Which it so obviously would be.

But they can offer said infringements and not be challenged. Try it with conservative values and that’s a big no no.

Imagine how angry you can get smelling ribs smoking on a grill and know you are not invited to dinner.

He doesn't want it harshing the clouds of patchouli and pot rolling out the windows, man.

hmmmm
How is this different than if you are not
(CHECK ONE).....
You will get a 200 buck discount.
OR if he said the rent was 1000 PLUS 200
if you are (CHECK ONE).......

Remember the ‘trouble’ the sub shop owner in Philadelphia got for putting up a ‘We speak English here’ sign.

Like the DI and his fresh off the bus new recruits.
“This is the Marine Corps.
Put all your prejudices behind you.
There are no Black Marines, there are no White Marines, there are no Yellow Marines etc...
ALL You potential Marines -as are all Marines - are GREEN.

NOW, board that bus - all you light green people get in front, all the dark green people to the rear”.

They probably didn’t want to be picking up cigarette butts off the lawn the next day.

Meat is expensive as it is. What people don’t know is the beans you eat to substitute for the protein from meat will cause flatulence. They may start firing people for that problem. Then the price of beans may be an even higher price.
