Look, I’m just setting my rent according to an analysis of the current market rate for similar properties.

Yes, that analysis is provided by the same company that does estimates for the other properties.

No, I’ve never heard of “price fixing”. Look, your avocado toast is super expensive and it’s cuz the government gave you $600 three years ago so PAY MY MORTGAGE ALREADY YOU EASILY REPLACEABLE COW IN A PEN.

There is no price fixing, if you dont like it, go build your own house, this is free market

Edit: everyone taking my comment serious is 11/10

Clearly they must be giving out free land in good places to live (near were all the jobs are), free materials and free time over there.

It’s either that or that house you mention is supposed to be made out of opinions and built in fantasy la-la-land, as it’s only how the materials and places to put it in would be endless and free.

I mean I get both sides here. We live in a free market economy, where the scarcity of something affects the cost of it. People want land close to the city and there’s an extremely limited amount of it. If there are n*100 people and only n parcels of land in a small area, how do you provide it to people? Do you sell it? Is it a lottery system? Is the land sold at a base value that never changes? Like, how do you envision this going?

Right now, people have to freedom to buy as much land as they want and set the pricing for that land. What we need is a property owner tax that scales up depending on the amount of property that you own. Though this will just make more land available. No one in their right mind will sell it for less than it’s worth though.

The land is really the limiting factor here, the rest is very easy by comparison.

Oh so wait, so building a house isn’t free then since nobody is giving the land and materials away. So why do you expect a landlord to let you live for free if he had to pay to buy the land and build it?

yes, and if you’re homeless just buy a house

btw, it’s not a free market if it’s controlled by a hand full of companies

One must bring the water to a boil slowly. Now how are you going to have your mortgage paid for? Looks like youll need to delay your Vail ski trip or, heaven forbid, combine it with your Aspen trip

Goodness, I can’t imagine only ONE vacation per year! Buy a single family home and rent it at twice the cost of the mortgage to make ends meet. It’s hard work not doing anything all year!

Perhaps this single mother should’ve tried just getting a better job, or just simply work a second hell why not even a third. Sounds like lazyness to me.

Single moms these days need to start pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. What I would do if my rent was tripled, is just reduce my avocado toast intake by 30% and go on a nice vacation with all the additional money I saved up.
