Cool, 3 months free rent.

Landlords should be rushing to raise the rent for the other 9 months.

No, we’re good. I was just curious about the market now. I left in 2008 for flyover country in ND and have a 2000 sq/ft cabin on 2 acres for $650/month. Have a hellova lot more space for less than half the price. And it’s deep red here. :-)

She just slapped down blacks.

Wow. Good for you. I’m glad you found your Shangri La.

They hate private property and are doing all they can to eliminate it. They can’t seize it just yet, so they take it a little at a time.

This idiot is an Indian emigre, not native born and a member of the Socialist Alternative party or some such crap.

From her Wikipedia account:

After moving to the United States, she was shocked by the level of poverty...

Apparently, she did not get her glasses until she came to the US, either, or perhaps there is no poverty in Mumbai, where she grew up or it could be that she is just too damned stupid to realize that the level of so-called poverty in the US exceeds what the bottom rung of the social levels in India receive by probably 300%.

Read her Wiki account.

A perfect example of the foreign invasion that we have had going on for the last 30 years or so.

Thank God this bitch cannot qualify for the Presidency.

Why the hell do we allow this sort of trash to park themselves in our country, much less allow them citizenship?

Her office has said she has reservations about the potential cost of likely legal challenges to the bill.

What about the costs of rent? If you know you're gonna be evicted, but are definitely safe until march 1st, how many of these people do you think will just skip the three free months of rent? Most of them are likely getting evicted for not paying rent as it is! So, since the city is the one requiring the complex to house them, shouldn't the city be responsible for paying the rent, if the soon-to-be-evictee doesn't?
