Your local politics are much more important than national as far as rent control, landlord and tenant rights etc.  Liberal states tend to be ultra tenant friendly almost to the point of socialism.

Welcome Mayra.  Anyone in Illinois should be aware of this too:

Great advice  Kathleen.

I was recently in Los Angeles and I saw all sort of posters in Korea town - which has a lot of hard working people who have brought it up from the 90s -- LA riots, slums, etc. 

There are posters that say "Housing is a Human Right" 

It sounds great as a slogan. But then they really want 'free ****' at the expense of hard working producers. Like House hackers, BRRR investors, small sacale landlords who work their butts off learning REI, and implementing it in their HARD WORK...

And now there are posters all over Wilshire and up and down the streets for the LA Tenants Union.  A group that want's to socialize housing in LA, California and the rest of the US.

They play the race card by getting non English speakers to sign up and are really getting active in LA.  I mean all they have to do is say "Hey do you want lower rent"  Sounds so simple, but it's really devastating to the economy and communities.

Do people 'deserve' to have low rent? Are people entitled to property? Is Houing a human right?

Here's some info to share with your local politicians and State assembly:

Contacting Califronia state assemblyman:

You should also look up your local city council members and contact them.

Almost every Urban Planning and economist organization agrees that rent controls hurt local governments/cities:

It will continually get pushed.  A lot of populist city council in Boston.  They try to do anything for votes.  "Housing is a human RIGHT"

This is entitlement. Us landlord and investors has to pay a bank mortgage to keep a house, if they don't they pay monthly we lose the house.

Same should go for any person.

But do certain people deserve to have a house? 

Who will pay for these houses?  Or should they get to live at reduced rent at YOUR house?

Seattle renter's commission.  These new bureaucracies are being backed by groups that are national

Do you all think Housing is a 'Human Right"

Like I deserve a house? 

Who will pay for it? Watch the video

A lot of Tenants rights groups are expanding.  I get it that there should be basic protections of health and safety and liveable standards.  I think we all don't like slumloarding but the Entitlement programs are getting ridiculous especially when you consider how hard we work for real estate property.  Don't property owners get some rights?

Notice they always have to throw in the "race card" .  They use words like "communities of color"  Gentrification, etc  In places like Highland Park in Los Angeles there is actually reverse racism where if a white or Asian family moves into a Latino neighborhood they have spraypainted "gentrifier" on ther garage doors.
