Fair is generally defined to mean in accordance with established rules and without bias. Offering preferential renting rights or pricing to certain cohorts such as people of a given age, nationality, etc. would clearly not be fair under this definition.
- tarakat 4y agoIf a nation cannot give preference to its own people, then that nation effectively does not exist. As for "established rules", the idea that nations should be reduced to economic zones is relatively novel, and not something most voters (i.e. the people nominally deciding on those rules) agree with.
- kaashif 4y agoIt is something a lot of voters in the US agree with, which is where most commenters on HN are from. The US as a nation is incredibly new and imported millions of people to build its population from almost nothing. Communities being born and dying due to economics is something that has been happening in the US constantly, at a large scale, for its entire existence. Maybe that's why some people are okay with this.
