The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

“We know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

Lol. What a shit take. What is my kid supposed to do for a house? Pay market price in a year? How does that solve the supply issue again???

I love how you guys are just reactionary and don't ever think any steps ahead about what the result of your propositions would be...just landlord bad. Free house good.

I'm a huge supporter of social welfare programs and limiting the num of houses ppl can buy so if u think I'm the enemy, buddy you're fighting the wrong battle.
