The real cause for rent increase is house prices going up and, accordingly, property taxes.

If properties are so expensive, how could rent not go up?

[–] Radium 1 points 1 year ago

I think the question is more of did they raise at equivalent levels or has the increase in rent moved faster than the increase in property purchase price and maintenance costs

Speaking of DESADIST (I sure love being able to write that without DP taking it down):

Whither the Great Whitebread Hope?

What happened to DESADIST, I wonder? I wonder where all those champions of his are now? It seemed like nearly every one of them was telling us that little d wouldn't really win the primary; the GOP would come to their senses (LOL) and bring on DESADIST instead of donnie.
