Robert Blake, Brandon Turner... don't you know it's etiquette to just nod and smile - the emperor DOES HAVE CLOTHES!!!!

That should also tell you that this is something to pay attention to -- a landlord goodie that tenant activists hate is probably a significant goodie for you as a potential landlord, even if you hypothetically have no idea what exactly that goodie is (eg, anything good for Emperor Palpatine is probably bad for the Rebel Alliance and bad for the light side of the Force).It also means it makes sense to do [ Rent * 75% - PITI ] for your envelope math, and not [ Rent * 50% - P&I ], because the latter implicitly assumes that property taxes will scale up with rent increases, which is simply not true in California.

You are effectively the Emperor with no clothes and everyone you deal with and your customers knows it.

I'll simply say that in my opinion, there is a vast difference between "gurus" (the emperor has no clothes) and real educators (teachers).

However when the FHFA Settled with its servicers for Billions of Dollars they unwittingly let them out of this responsibility. https://origin.www.fhfaoig.gov/Content/Files/EVL-2...So the Banks were gambling with a free bet while the FHFA was showing off The Emperors New Clothes.

@James Wise  The emperor has no clothes? 

I think the city council is Emperor Palpatine though haha, I guess it goes both ways :).
