Brickbat: The Thing That Wouldn't Leave

The Albany, New York, city council is considering a "good cause" eviction ordinance. The law would place a limit on rent increases and allow landlords to evict tenants only for specified reasons, such as failure to pay rent and "substantive" lease violation. Debbie Pusatere, president of the New York Capital Region Apartment Association, said the law would take away "the ability for the landlord to bring harmony to the building for the good tenants. If you think about what will happen down the road, the good tenants will leave and the bad tenants will stay."

I have this idea where two parties right down a set of rules that are binding to both sides. It would be for a certain period of time. Any deviation would bring penalties and can even void the agreement. A man can dream.

[hpearce]

I believe that is called a contract - like lease or rental ones.

[Agammamon]

No, no, no, totally different.

[Earth Skeptic]

Contracts, or any other legal constraints on human desire, are patriarchal racism.

[Earth Skeptic]

That includes the concept of "property".

Contracts signed by adults are null and void if one side has feelingz of selfishness. For reference, see Amsoc’s mortgage.

I have this image where the collections department throws his mortgage to the new guy, as a hazing ritual.

I'd even go so far as to say the two parties should be conceptually equal in the eyes of the legislature/executive as well. Billion-dollar corporations shouldn't be able to get out of an agreement any easier than penniless hucksters on the verge of bankruptcy and neither should be more/less able than anyone in between. Agreements that cannot be refused are no agreements at all.

[J W 2]

And what agreement can you not refuse?

[GroundTruth]

There are those who consider laws and regulations as agreements, that are part of the "social contract"....... I don't recall signing that one, I'll have to check my files.

Bad tenants must be a reliable voter base.

Mr. Roper and Mr, Furley would disapprove.

From the 2024 headlines:
The Albany, New York, city council is considering how to address the rental shortage.

[J W 2]

Why, by imposing higher taxes on condos and rents, and then using the revenue to build subsidized housing, of course!

[buckleup]

Collectivism always works well in the minds of its adherents.

[Earth Skeptic]

"Minds" gives them too much intellectual credit.

[Quo Usque Tandem]

The people I know, who are all in for such pipe dreams, seem to be fully protected and insulated from any possible less than desirable outcome of such.

[Will Nonya]

Debbie P should know that politicians are incapable of conceiving of a future beyond the next election. The only thing that could possibly exist beyond their next term is utopia.

[Gozer the Gozarian]

Well, clearly, you can't fix the stupid in Albany.

Some private corporations are more private than others.
