The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

โ€œWe know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

I mean I get the hate to some extent. I've been on both sides of this coin so I can see how both sides feel squeezed.

Some are good, some are bad just like everything in life.

This isn't an attack on a specific landlord though, it's a variation on the Land Reform Movement. Except instead of country land for the revolution it's city properties to be used for 15 minute cites.

My point is that large corporations are the issue not someone with an extra house or two.q
