  1. All news outlets are repeating the same lie, that rents are going up because there are more renters because home sales are going down. Home sales going down has nothing to do whatsoever with rent prices going up, there are not more renters because of fewer home sales, those people looking to buy homes were renting in the first place so nothing changed. What has changed are hedge funds like Blackrock buying up all the housing and businesses with money printed out of nothing. Blackrock and other hedge funds are owned by the central banks, the same central banks that financed the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. In Russia, the central bank owned all the property and you rented from the government, in the United States the central bank owns all the property and your renting from the government because the central bank is the government, a communist/socialist government

  2. It's like 2k a month for a old and busted studio in California rn

  3. Joe Biden Did That ✔️

  4. Buckle up buttercup because it's going to get worse.

  5. In Tampa. My niece’s rent went up by $500 a month. It was $1400. That’s more like 30%.

  6. Who gave this woman a TV show? Her loud annoying voice and those stupid glasses are somehow far more obnoxious than kamala's absurd cackling.

  7. I wouldn't worry about it.
    I'm sure Dementia Joe will just walk over to his Money Tree and throw more out to everyone that isn't making $125K a year..

  8. I'D HAVE TO SELL COCAIN TO PAY RENT IN NYC, KIDDING OF COURSE MAY TAKE A SNORT, HA

  9. Corporations are buying up homes.

  10. I sold my house and started renting what a mistake.

  11. Exxon top U.S. oil producer reported second-quarter net income of $17.9 billion, or $4.21 per share, an almost four-fold increase over the $4.69 billion, or $1.10 per share, it earned in the same period last year.Jul 29, 2022

  12. THERE SHOULD OF BEEN A RENT CAP ON RENTING. HOUSING PRICES HAVE GONE THREW THE ROOF. YOUR HOMES WILL BE LITTLE APARTMENTS. THIS IS HAPPENING IN CANADA AND ALL CANADIANS ARE WAITING TO THROW OUR GOVERNMENT OUT AND THE NEW DEMOCRATS PARTY AS WELL. THIS PARTY BACKED THE LIBERALS. THEY BOTH HAVE TO GO AND THEN WE WILL TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY. CANADIANS FEEL NOW THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO BARE ARMS AGAINST OUR GOVERNMENTS

  13. Trust me… they can afford it…they just don’t want to go where it’s cheap. This narrative about the greedy landlord has been on the left news agenda for decades. Tell the truth about supply and demand.

  14. By greedy top %= lower wages.

  15. No rent controls = how much are you willing to pay to have a place to live? That means Landlords will charge you as much as you have. That’s why it requires regulation. Same as education and health care. How much are you willing to pay your unregulated private doctor to stay alive?

  16. Surprised more people aren't converting their cars into studio apartments on wheels. Might be forced to do it if things keep up.

  17. The good and bad people? Ugh.

  18. Rent? What rent? What is… rent?

  19. The new rental landlords requires 3 months rent, good credit, criminal background and tons of extra fees.

    The landlords reckoning!

  20. TOO TACKY reporting words & Tonalities. Geared for a very immature audience. Won't watch her again. I don't Appreciate being yelled at.

  21. Brought about by government buying homes up for illegals.

  22. Trump's administration did the definition of corruption as taking from the public sector and putting that into the private sector, including Unions, public transportation, the post office, and public schooling. Also took funding from civil services and corrupted congress. Removed funding for national labor protections, and worsen negotiation for American workers. Cut taxes for trillion dollars and hundreds of billion dollar corporations by 10%. And massive budget cuts to housing programs causing homelessness to rise in some areas by 130% or higher.

  23. Part of the problem, maybe the main problem is, when our elected leaders take office, they have access to certain types of information that is a bonanza for investments.

    It's like being able to post a bet on a horse race 20 seconds before the race ends. Liz Cheney upon finishing her tenure will have increased her net worth multiple times, in the millions.

    One has to really consider, when someone takes office, will the person be more concerned about his or her constituents or their assets?

    And another question that is even more direct is, will the elected official consider what effect their vote will have on their investment portfolio?

    It will never happen but it should be that when one takes office, his or her holdings have to be placed in a blind trust. Jimmy Carter did just that when he became president.

  24. My lease was up this month and I decided to long term rent a room from Airbnb.

    For 3 years my last corporate landlord raised my rent 3 times nearly doubling it over that time.

    I will wait this out and negotiate like an animal when the tables turn and they already are. These are the same people who cried like babies during the 2009 crash and then again during Covid.

    They leverage the people who will pay to offset the bloody nose they got of people who won’t pay.

    The day of reckoning is coming for all those greed driven landlords.

    Laugh it up while you can. The other shoe is about to drop.

  25. My daughter rent up 20%! Just greedy people! She paid and worked thru it all!

  26. Poor people were already hurting before all this craziness started in the middle class they always voted against anything that would help the poor so hmm I'm thinking karma
