Craigslist funny stuff

I understand how it works.  And how capitalism works. Gouging works based on market anticipation. There obviously was an anticipation that the market was going to change.  It's unfortunate that that change doesn't help those who are on the receiving end. The cost of living rises but not the wages. 30% is a really huge leap in cost.  It's quite obvious no one is losing sleep over it.

You still haven't answered my questions.

I think I did to a degree if not specifically.

 
OK whatever but they were yes or no questions.

I don't think they are. Housing is an important sociological factor. It's not the same as car prices rising or appliances or entertainment, or many other things.  To me what happened here specifically was gouging, when it was done the way it was done. Now if someone buys a new home and rents it out in a way that reflects the price they paid, I understand that. But what happened here, to me is like having to pay $1000.00 for a epi pen, or not being able to afford life saving treatment.  I guess it's just oxy-moronic to hope for anything else.

These two questions have nothing to do with as car prices rising or appliances or entertainment.


If everyone else is getting 1250 for a 2 BR apt. And YOU had a 2 BR apt. available to rent.
Would you rent for less? Would you really lose money just to be a nice person?
