"That's a strawman."
No, it's not.
" People moving in can have children too, or be looking to start families."
Maybe. But they haven't already set down those roots. What makes them more deserving that the people who already have?
"Such people are locked out of living in a perfectly reasonable place against their wishes - because of a rigged system that entitles those who came first to play by an entirely different set of rules."
And those who are pushed out? Are they not locked out of living in a perfectly reasonable place against their wishes, because of a rigged system that entitles newer people to come in and change the rules?
"Why should they get an easy ride, while everyone else, who's working just as hard - or often much harder, to pay their inflated rent - suffers as a consequence?"
I have to ask the same thing of those moving in. Why do they get to push other people out?
