There is a whole (almost) lost history about PCM Adaptors for VTR's. Sony made some for U-Matic (3/4 in), there were some for VHS, and some that were meant to use other broadcast grade formats. Also, ADAT, which used a SVHS tape a

Thats kinda my point.. Yes, all of the costs are just baked into rent. They're not baked into a Mortgage, and people dont get that so they end up buying as much house as their rent was, and then get over their skis when they suddenly

I think your tone was why you got downvoted. You're mostly right though, so long as housing is consistently treated as an investment rather than a commodity produced and sold in bulk, landlords hold all of the power.

What happens if you have a landlord who follows (or exceeds) the law? I've rented from plenty like this, simply because I took the effort to find places that were locally owned (while not a cure all, it helps). Also, whats the alternat
