Making it worse is that most of these people aren’t happy with anything, so they’ll do unnecessary, expensive renovations that they use to jack up the prices, then eventually get tired of it and sell to the next jackass who rips everything out, installs brand new things, and raise the prices again. Meanwhile owners surrounding them who haven’t done any improvements are like “you’re charging what for rent?” and immediately raise their prices to match “the going rate” even though nothing was invested to make it better. Makes us want to stab people ngl
