Greystar, Blackstone, and AvalonBay are spending millions to block rent control
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlF6a0JLsYc A historic wave of tenant organizing is on the verge of winning renter protections that would be attached to federal loans—affecting 1 in 4 apartments. But Greystar, Blackstone, and AvalonBay are spending millions to block it. They're a part of a coalition of massive landlords, baks, and investors who are pooling resources to block rent control and renter protection policies. One of the biggest landlord industry lobbying groups is called the National Multifamily Housing Council. That group has spent almost $10 million lobbying against rent control. Despite this opposition, we're seeing one of the largest upticks in tenant organizing since the 1970s, as renters across the country face worsening housing crisis. Groups like KC Tenants are at the forefront of this movement, fighting to stop unfair rent hikes and corporate slumlords.

Should just nationalize housing and give everyone the same rent and same units. Everyone deserves equality, this is 2023 🌈
Companies are so stupid and shortsighted. The more they try to screw over normal people, the more likely they will see backlash. Same is true with poor worker treatment.
Fuck em
