Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful. They include:

"Don't be snarky."

"Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents."

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

This is not a solution. The average rent is still $1832, which is still unaffordable for people in Denver making the median income of $54.3k if you apply the rule of thumb where rent shouldn't exceed 30% of your monthly income.

communism? was there lead in the paint they painted your walls with?

no real argument was made for communism, however a housing / renting market controlled by the government with regulations instead of letting the “free market” (((oligopoly))) run it’s course screwing over the poor and middle class while the richest of the rich pool all these profits to build bunkers and do stupid shit.

yeah, a regulated market is better. especially when and if the government regulating the market is sane. thats a requirement for laws and or institutions relying on regulation

  • > was there lead in the paint they painted your walls with?

    yes unfortunately as long as my landlord gave me the LEAD PAINT notice i didnt have any other options.

    It's curious how the largest landowing families in New York and San Francisco are strong supporters of these anti-market policies.
