To expand on this - I’m interested in thinking about times that a cause we support won, not only because maybe it feels good to see positive stories instead of all negative, but also because specific examples might help illustrate why it won, and reveal strategies we can use in the future.
Well you have it completely wrong. The language was carefully crafted by the lawyer to exclude predatory corporate renters, not all renting. We have quite a few renters in the neighborhood, and if someone meets certain criteria (living in the neighborhood long enough, and other special circumstances) they are allowed to rent.
But I’m sure you’ll find some way to twist this too, so you can keep your moral superiority hard-on going.
That’s not what the word predatory means.
Usually that has to do with things like pricing (both initially and any future increases), handling of maintenance, problems, and of things like late payments, etc.
You’re looking at it once again purely through the lens of how it affects the existing owners. For example an existing long term owner in the area would not be considered predatory based on your criteria no matter how much price gouging they engage in.
Once again you have no clue what you’re talking about. I’ve seen how these scumbag corporate landlords operate and I don’t need a lesson on what predatory means. You’re projecting what you think our motivations are with zero context or knowledge about me or my neighbors. You either have some weird political axe to grind here or you’re just another pedantic knowitall keyboard warrior.
