I'm a physical therapist currently but love emergency medicine/response. 

Guessing section 8 and other poverty based benefits some get will be adjusted to show less qualify so some may be buying their own food and medicine and for them housing would not change much.  3.

Rent control is the wrong medicine for the wrong patient, but it sounds good in theory and it gets them votes.  

Hud Floyd Hey HUD, I also work as a Ff/medic in LA.

Coved ceilings, trays, deatailed fireplaces, arched doorways, hardwood floors everywhere, tongue and groove fir front porches.Converted wall hollows from the telephone cubby or ironing table hidaway or inset medicine cabinet.

There is a big difference between real estate and medicine, the barrier to entry in real estate is about as low as it gets, and the barrier to practice medicine is at the other end of the spectrum.You really don't need a lot of knowledge in real estate to make a lot of money, not compared to other professions, there are no secrets in real estate!

The vanity and medicine cabinet are also very old with peeling paint.

Go with white farmhouse style vanity, fixtures, oval or beveled square glass mirror (not a medicine cabinet, if you build in additional storage). 

So far, it's a used pregnancy tester that was left on top of the medicine cabinet.
