I’m not normally one to worry too much, having a lot of faith in the long-term game and knowing that there will be bumps and blocks along the way and on the surface, this isn’t that bad (who knows what it will adjust to in the future) and I could live with it. And yet, there is more already brewing with one of our city council proposing a tax on vacant units and another in the house legislature proposing to end any sort of pet rent. 

It’s odd times, that’s for sure.
