But I know a number of people who'd jump at the chance to rent it...and were it MY house I'd rent it only to close acquaintances but it's not mine (yet).
1. I'm a YIMBY. I think we should build build build and we've fucked ourselves not doing so for the past 40 years.
2. It's not the people moving here that can't afford my neighborhood anymore...it's the people that have been here generationally unless they've been gifted real estate (like my wife).
3. We likely need to ease building restrictions as well as tip the balance back in favor of mom and pop landlords (which most are...I think).
4. Maybe we need to ban foreign and corporate ownership of SFHs...maybe we need to impose some type of Pied a Terre tax like NYC.
But as many things...the status quo isn't working for anyone...all around.... Previous Message
So bad that they could lose their property because of squatters.
Horrible. How about don't move to New York? No one is guaranteed to live in the city they want to live in. I keep saying this about LA. You can't afford to live here? Move. Or don't move here to begin with. We don't need more people. We should not encourage more people.
