All housing is the property of the government. They will with it as they wish, comrade.
Let me guess, Bernie wants to put Robert Taylor housing project like places in every town or city in the United States.
It’s dangerous to say the State should allow the market to decide such things Comrade. Perhaps you need a visit from your local Political Officer. /sarc
Right. He’s signaling lefties throughout the country to press for rent control laws.
The government does not have the right to determine a maximum amount of increase in the price of any product, at any time, and in any way. Current rent control laws are invalid.
It’s another step on the path to communism, in which you own nothing, and the government owns everything.
This crazy old man is a communist.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to establish national rent control standards.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
So post-17th Amendment ratification, constitutionally low-information Sen. Sanders is unthinkingly trying to expand the already unconstitutionally big federal governments powers with his constitutionally indefensible campaign proposal for national rent control.
If Sanders wants to experiment with rent controls then he needs to get himself elected to a state government in a state whose citizens are willing to let him experiment with rent controls using 10th Amendment powers.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
In the meanwhile, patriots need to elect a new Congress that will promise to fully support PDJTs already excellent work for MAGA, now KAGA.
Remember in November!
MAGA! KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
Can’t wait until California voters get suckered into closing the “loophole” that permits business to not have their property grossly reassessed each year (Prop 13)
So many will be shocked that even with rent control, their rents well be going up 35% or more.
Oregon’s 7% + CPI is also short of planned taxes with a typical 3% increase in assessment value plus an 8% yearly increase in services (trash, sewer, water)
Oh, and California’s AB5’s elimination of the independent contractor (and independent journalist) will become great fun for owners who use on property management. They are on the hook for hourly minimum wage for worked or on call hours, plus benefits.
Fun fun times. Open license to issue unlimited bonds and taxes with no worry about constituents rising up over increased rents. And next to ban criminal background checks!
Bourgeois Bernie. Can we declare your homes SANCTUARY HOMES, comrade cracker?
“Landlords cannot be allowed to raise rents to whatever they want, whenever they want,
Bernie is 100% right. The free market denies Landlords the right to raise rents to whatever they want, whenever they want. The most they can raise them to is what the market will bear.
Will there be limits on their property tax increases?
So let me put my money in real estate make the investment and not make a profit
