If you meant to say "renters are happy", no, many of us are not. Those of us who were "lucky" enough to score a rent-controlled apartment around the 2008->2010 time frame are now trapped in those apartments; unable to move despite often worsening and/or malicious corporate landlords because of the substantial increase in rent hike that we would have to endure to find a new place.
If you meant to say something else, please disregard my previous 'graph. :)
Edit: Oh hey! Hallo again! I guess you've already heard all I have to say on the topic already. :)
For others: Don't forget that the city's colossal failure to build negatively impacts both those who wish to move into the city and those who wish to move within it.
- bradleyjg 11y agoI think 'and rent' was a leftover fragment from an earlier version of the sentence. Unfortunately can't edit it now. The part about crappy public transportation is a reflection of our earlier conversation.
