If San Francisco allowed the sale of contaminated food there would be demand for it from people who have no choice. This is really a consumer rights issue. The landlords should provide a basic standard of safety for such high rents. The scope for exploitation is huge and the government should protect people from that. The size issue is less important.
- wilfra 14y agoIf landlords are exploiting people and providing unsafe places to live, then that should be dealt with. I haven't seen anybody other than you mention those things though. People are just appalled by how small and ugly the rooms/cages are and they feel sorry for the people who choose to live there. The government shouldn't tell people who want to pay to live there that they cannot do so.

What I am suggesting it telling landlords what they can and cannot do, not the residents. Every slum in the world has numerous landlords that don't maintain acceptable standards. To pretend that very poor people have the consumer freedom to challenge that is ignorant.
