3. Not one damned thing for people who must rent.

Clueless as always.

These clueless people think everybody is married and has kids and with two income households. This despite the fact more and more people are single and don’t have the funds to waste on stick houses on a lot.

In my neck of the woods, the majority of rentals are owned by a single individual who lets the places get run down and often evicts renters for no cause so that he can jack up the rents for new tenants.

The crisis is people facing NO shelter at all, not with people rich enough to afford houses and the outrageous costs in maintaining them. This legislation will do nothing for these people, absolutely nothing.

When will these people start living in reality?
