White people will look you dead in the eyes and tell you that Palestinian children deserve to starve and then go drop a band on 3 different types of raw chicken feet and salmon fins to feed Bark Ruffalo, their goldendoodle with an uncannily human expression

stores opening doesn't raise rents, landlords do

Yes, but the best way to predict when a landlord increases the rent is usually tied to property value (which in turn influences property taxes). And the best way to tell if property value is going to go up is by paying attention to the kinds of stores opening up (or developments being built) in your neighborhood.
