It’s exploitative because your counterparty does not have the luxury of choice.
The people who actively work the system to prevent new construction are the same people collecting rents from tenants left without options because of bans on construction.
- nerdawson 4y agoNIMBY attitudes aren't confined to landlords. That's quite a common sentiment among homeowners. People working to secure their best interests shouldn't come as a shock. There are plenty of options for people looking to get on to the housing ladder including government backed schemes that require deposits as low as 5%. If someone is incapable of saving a 5% deposit, are they fiscally responsible enough to own a home?
