Brickbat: Living Large

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell has been living in an apartment in a city-owned building without paying rent, and city officials said that appears to violate no policies. The apartment in the historic Upper Portalba building has a rent of $2,991 a month. But no rent on the apartment was paid from September 2021 through July 2022.

I am making 80 US dollars per hr. to complete some internet services from home. I did not ever think it would even be achievable , however my confidant mate got $13k only in four weeks, easily doing this best assignment and also she convinced me to avail.

After leaving my previous job 12 months ago, i've had some good luck to learn about this website which was a life-saver for me.They offer jobs for which people can work online from their house. My latest paycheck after working for them for 4 months was for $4500.Amazing thing about is that the only thing required is simple typing skills and access to internet.

For a de o rats, absolutely.
The residents haven’t tossed her headfirst into a woodchipper, because they’re masochists. They get what they deserve.
It's because there's a tax on woodchippers.
Is there a ban on scary black "assault" woodchippers?
What about "ghost" woodchippers?

Rent is for the common people.
Her critics just don't understand the world black women walk in.
Plus, like, COVID, or something.
They have too much privilege to understand how hard she has it.
It's good to be the Queen.
Tony can attest to that.
An article from Reason that's not about rent seeking? Impossible! This article doesn't exist and the usual gang of Trumpaloons will probably be along any minute now to call me the usual girlish insults for defending their partisan foes that they claim are rent seekers.

That was dumb.
If you wanted to do it right you'd point out that this mayor is a Democrat, and since Reason is a literal arm of team blue an article critical of a Democrat mayor can't exist.
I bow to your superior ability to defend Reason one-sidedly.
I'm not defending Reason. I'm defending your position that Reason is a bunch of leftist leftists who say leftist shit while they praise leftists because that's what leftists do. Did I mention that I'm agreeing with you when you say they're all leftists? They're all leftists.
I’m not defending Reason.
My bad. I bow to your superior ability to defend retiring police chiefs.
I generally bow to his superior ability to carry water for Biden while claiming to hate political parties.
Why does the city own an apartment building?
Probably because no private entity is stupid/masochistic/charitable enough to run an apartment building for people who don't pay rent.
Why doesn’t she pay rent?
She’s a dirtbag democrat.
Rent moratorium still ongoing nearly everywhere. Why let the end of the pandemic (yes, it is over) stop the culture of squatting? Free rent for all!

Not until the 31st.
Really? WA got rid of it a year ago. And our governor is that fucking Gavin Newsom wannabe Jay Inslee.
It's called the PONTALBA [damn this site could use some editing before shit rolls out, you know?] apartments; they date back to colonial times and flank the East and West sides of Jackson Square, with St. Louis Cathedral overlooking the North end and the Miss River to the South.
They are luxury apartments by any standard.
As a former resident of the "Big Easy," the first thing you need to understand is that is operates on third world standards:

same chick who flies first class and doesn't payback yes?
Couldn’t Latoya pay at least a nominal monthly fee? Says, a couple of Jacksons?
No. Payment of any kind is an admission that she owes it. Her point is that she doesn’t owe a thing.
The landlord would be better served to throw some Jackson at Lou and Rocco to hav them help the mayor find her checkbook.
Democrats are poison.
Just a drop in the bucket when it comes to reparations. Do you understand what her ancestors went through? They should give her the damn building.
This is the same bitch that flies first class and doesn't think she should have to pay the difference. Because flying coach is not safe for black women or some such.
