I can live without an ocean.

Count your blessings. Have you been to a beach recently in one of these fascist states. Looking at the ocean without a permit is a felony

A great example of rent-control would be soviet-bloc housing, which was substandard, communal, very small space and virtually zero privacy. The only ones with decent housing in the soviet union were party elites. In socialistic, communistic or dictatorships the only ones who enjoy a decent standard of living are those who rule - everyone else is at the mercy of the elites in those systems.

Those who fail to learn from history ......

Even Massachusetts got rid of rent control 25 years ago.

Rent control in a tight rental market just means more rental housing will not be built, creating a downward spiral. This will not end well.

...

It’s similar to the spiral that took down Venezuela.

Actually I have, since we own a second home in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Carmel Beach is wonderful and you can run your dog on it without a leash. Sunset Beach, the State Beach further south is another story. Gun-toting “rangers” who seem to relish making life miserable for the people who pay their salaries.

The Portland area is at the tip of the spear in implementing Agenda 21 / Sustainable Development.

AKA, the UN’s Communistic Plan to regulate and control every human and every human activity.

Progressives love rent control not because it fixes problems, but because it drives minorities out of their neighborhoods. Rental properties in Oregon will convert to condos and be sold off, at high prices, disproportionally to whites. Blacks will leave the state.

".... Rent control in a tight rental market just means more rental housing will not be built, creating a downward spiral. This will not end well...."

When the government controls anything, it gets worse.

Rent controls will end up meaning fewer rentals, not cheaper rentals.

Same thing happened in Hawaii when they placed price controls on gasoline years ago.

Instead of cheaper gas, they got less gasoline.

We visited Carmel beach in the 1970s and were informed we could not take away any seashells! Being a kid, I stuffed my pockets full of them! And so began my life of crime....

Well, we’ve owned a home there for 25 years and no one has ever mentioned that you could not take a sea shell Actually, the truth is there aren’t many.

Rent is reality
The mortgage game is ridiculous
We’re renting. A house for 3 k thats worth 1.5 m
Pencil that
Now look we’ve got lots of experience with rent control here in California Berkeley San Fran

just going to places and probably always run into is 10 or later somebody moves out and additionally the landlords don’t want to fix anything because they’re not getting their property values

Rent control doesn’t work no longer how Marxist’s try

The mortgage game is rigged

No way a 1m $ house is worth that when me and my buddies can build for 150$k

“Let them suffer.”

It is impossible for me to feel sorry for anyone that lives on the West Coast. California, Oregon, and Washington are the worst of the liberal strongholds. They will eventually go bankrupt and we all must fight the bailout from the taxpayer.
Time to start, is now, to end any Federal monies going to those states that do not enforce immigration laws. This blatant disregard for law must be punished or the cancer will spread and disorder will reign.

Every time I hear the phrase, “We are a Nation of Laws,” I want to throw up.
Horsehockey, we are a nation of scofflaws, from the government to the poorest bum in the street.

A post card to the governors's office works wonders. They hate to be mocked. It only costs 35 cents, and is appropriate for any elected official. Don't be shy, just say what you feel, telling them they are clowns, and f'''nig idiots.

Kate Brown, Office of the Governor, 160 State Capitol, 900 Court Street, Salem, OR 97301-4047. This supremely stupid woman may take the mantle as the stupidest elected official over Patty Murray, just across the state line. God help us, in the interim, mock them again and again, they hate that.
