It is not within the Constitutional domain of the US government to be giving those handouts to ANYONE.

How is an abortion have anything to do with rental properties?
Federal rent control would be unconstitutional. it violates the Fifth Amendment. Also, if an eviction moratorium was unconstitutional during COVID, the same thing would be unconstitutional now.
I don't think giving taxpayer money in the form of vouchers to his renters rather than rent control is going to help the national debt. It is just going to assure that he get full rent payment off the backs of taxpayers and give him an incentive to raise rents.
@@robert911m well said.
Lower insurance rates, lower supplies cost (heat pumps, Freon, flooring, etc), maintenance charges (plumbers, electricians, HVAC,etc), property taxes, not exclusive - landlords might not need to keep increasing rent. The cost for landlords has skyrocketed over the past 4 years. Why are they the ones politicians are always going after? Maybe cap utility charges, property taxes, insurance rates, interest rates?
In my county in Georgia, tons of new housing and apartments are going up every year and rent is INCREASING EVERY YEAR!!!

Amen .
He seems like a slumlord suggesting the fix is to put people on section 8 which usually has an 8-10 year waiting list while rents that were $1500/mo in New England are now $2700+ for the same 150 year old building with 1970's decor
Stop printing money, stop the energy regulating killing our energy independence. This guy cant have it both ways.

This guy knows one thing his business is being threatened and it is not necessary, welcome to the club bud.
Vouchers. Oh, more of people's tax money going to the rich. I think we have enough of that.
The "progressive" healthcare policies do the same thing.
Most tax money comes from the rich. Research
It’s the increased property tax, insurance and HOA cost that are driving rent up.
@tl9235 - Those 3 things plus the hedge fund investors like this guy.
Exactly! How about do something about the insane property taxes and home insurance and Biflation, That’s what’s driving up rent costs. Property tax for a renter is much higher than a home you live in.
Because the values are falsely overinflated due to the gross inflation. It affects us homeowners just as much
The answer is to stop spending! Stop the crazy spending !!!!!
This is the worst sort of rich person. Just protecting his wealth while taking away yours.
This guy is a joke he helped make Boston rent the Highest in the Entire World. I can deal Without the upgrades . Boston 10 years ago you could get a 2br for 7 hun easily .Now you'll be lucky to get a studio under 2k .
And the rent control in my town has led to the demolition of several apartment units making the situation worse. So this whole proposal in my mind is a joke as I worry is my unit next.
Boston Biotech industry and tech sector makes crazy rents happen as more and more neighborhoods get gentrifiied . You think it is bad now . In 6 years double that rent . All rent control does is increase apartment to condo conversion
Vouchers on the tax payer dime that's the way to go no that's called corporate welfare. They get rich off of housing

The cost of living has been outrunning wages for DECADES. Why are people just now paying attention to this.

Rent control certainly has unintended consequences. Property owners in SF are so against rent control there have been 40,000 vacant units for years. So does regulating insurance companies from increasing their prices.

@@fullsenderman8291 maybe i am a billionaire as well
"Billionaire" Jeff: _"While I was at Harvard, I was the force behind getting rid of the rent caps. There was an enormous amount of new development ... and rents did not go up."_
*The point* of the current proposed rent cap is that *rents have ALREADY GONE UP 32.1% in the last 4 years,* are continuing to *GO UP,* and there is nothing in the data to suggest that rents will *go down.*
*FURTHERMORE,* if developers won't be raising rents in the near future, what difference would be to make it official and put a 5% cap, if developers don't plan to raise the rents above 5% anyway?
Yeah and how are people on s.s. suppose to pay these ungodly amounts. Ridiculous
@RussellKitchens-of1hs - According to treasury secretary, Janet Yellin, she said, "inflation is not a big problem, when people need extra money they will just dip into their cash reserves". Of course when you make $230K per year plus bennies like she does, cash reserves are possible. There are elite morons who think all are as well off as them. Same lunacy with the Obamacare the so called affordable care act. Just pull money out of the air to pay for whatever we demand you to. Just a secret bail out for the HCI.
Maybe we shouldn't have started deficit spending in the first place maybe we should cut the overhead. Government small government is the answer
They don't want to buy them now!! This man has no idea the GDP is gone without jobs here!
Rent control is just wrong. Let the market decide rents. No one is forcing anyone to rent a specific apartment or house. If there were rent control, I would sell my house before I would rent it.
@@DesertScorpionKSA and all those people who can't afford rent can just be homeless. Who cares? Oh, we care when we have to see their camps. You say specific apt or house like there are cheaper options. The problem is there aren't.
In Washington state in the 98383 rent just went up $150 in a low income senior housing, at Vintage in Silverdale Washington State
This is a tricky situation due to the fact that a lot of the properties apartments and houses were brought up or bought up by foreign entities and now they're ran by property management companies who uses rent as a way of making themselves money. Look at the urban areas and see how many of these houses and apartments are ran by property management companies and who actually owns the property. In Michigan you can say at least 50% of properties are owned by foreign entities
Go figure... A landlord isn't for rent control... Go ask the good citizens of San diego how much over development helped their rent Go down... Rent there is some of the highest in the country and it's not because supply is low. Rent does absolutely need some control. the upfront payments are unreasonable, and apartments and houses rent for roughly 1/3 more than they're worth (in some cases more than that) The greedy real estate companies are partially to blame. As far as I'm concerned. It's a city and state issue though. The president was just pandering.
Since a lot of the Politicians has their hands in it to make more money
Then you need to buy property and rent below market, will you step up?
@bobroberts2371 actually my family already does on a duplex that's pd for. It was my grandmother's. We always kept rent below market for this area
@@WillSteltenpohl-j5x Well then start buying up properties and expand your reach.
@@bobroberts2371 find someone else to harass troll... I promise you I'm not the 1... 😉
I love the way he described tax cuts as a free for all for business-thats why we have laws. What do we have now under Biden the big mega companies are swallowing small business that can't absorb all the cost increases and don't have all the lawyers to lobby. Plus his description of the effects were very vague but emotional and that tells you he like the tax cuts but he is a democrat and has to say that.
Cities enforce rent control to prevent the wholesale gentrification of poor people neighborhoods.
Every politician should take a fundamental class on economics. Anytime a price cap is placed on a product, it will cause long-term damage. It's 2024 and this will be another case study on what happens when you cap the rent. This may not be feasible for the investor to make a living and will have to sell or foreclose. Squatters will live rent-free on abandoned property because the former landlord couldn't set the price to the market value. Horrible idea for price caps.

Vouchers only work if and when there are landlords that will accept them.🧿Also vouchers are only good for a certain amount of time, where do tenants go when landlords won’t extend their time? Low income housing on the other hand allows for tenants to stay and live like normal people, as long as their paperwork proves their low income status. These days unfortunately there exist buildings that consider $100,000/yr to be low income. People need to be honest about what truly is considered to be low income status. Also be honest that there is no profit in building low income housing so where do low wage earning people live? 🌸🦋

Wsiting on the next Stupid idea from Rat city.
He is the typical democrat. As a conservative and a person with common sense, government spending is the problem and not lower taxation. The government must cut each years budget at least 5% per year and in ten years the debt should be lowered to a reasonable level. No more deficit spending; the yearly budget must have surplus to pay down the debt. The debt and deficit does not help our economy; hard working Americans drive our economy. Our national debt is 33 trillion dollars.
Why in gods name would we trust a billionaire who has made his money off of ripping off his renters! He has profited from these 45% increase in rent set up occurred in the last five years! Unacceptable not just rent control chop the prices in half and start again!
Why would you trust Biden to dictate price controls? He has never operated a business in his entire life.
He only panders to the audience that he is in front of.
Chop the prices in half???😂😂
You have no understanding of economics, property rights, or presidential authority.
And then there will been a severe housing shortage. The majority of landlords are individuals with one or two properties. They cannot afford to be landlords if they cannot cover their costs.
Then you need to buy property and build housing.
@@bobroberts2371 The problem is no one will create housing if they can't charge enough rent to cover the costs and make some profit. Any price control, will result in shortages of whatever commodity whose price has been controlled.
Funny how he can see that rent control doesn't work but thinks that higher taxes does. He can't see that they are the same problem. The real problem is that the government spends too much and produces nothing.
Maybe he needs to remember that Trump is doing other things to bring in money, he truly has one mindset and it is all about him😮😢😮
Do you want to help the housing market? Keep corporations from buying residential homes.
Yeah, he became a billionaire. He just worried about his bank.
Well maybe the government needs to quit giving our money to all these nations and to illegal aliens might bring our deficit down don't you think ? Mr Billionaire
There are normally negative consequences when the government, rather than the free market determines prices.
We have known for years "he ain't there" those of us that are smart.
my ex mother in law lives in park slope in a building shes been in for 50 years at least and its rent controlled. every other apt in the building is 2k plus but she pays like 500

No way a nationwide rent control law is constitutional.
I disagree with the Democrat billionaire... Did Democrat billionaire should give away a few millions to restore buildings and to help the homeless to have a place to live...
All rent caps do is stop builders from building. Stops buyers from buying. It will make renting a nightmare.
Like it isn’t already. Whether it be $2000 or $10000, if you can’t afford it you can’t afford it.
Hey! Just think how many high paying government jobs would be created to oversee a rent control program.
A rent control would just let government tax even more. We need less government jobs. Those fat cats in government are all multi-millionaires. Repeat after me. Government does not care about you .Off topic. After Obama care passed my deductable is so high I pay for all my medical due and insurance don't kick in until we pay $4,300.00. Low income housing requires skilled builders. Also I watched a Route 66 video and noticed all the small populated towns that have houses and building in which some could be renovated since the houses they build now just look like boxes. Might be cheaper to do that since the foundations are there .Just a thought.
I am a Republican on Social Security, and this guy is really pis*ing me off. Some of us have fixed incomes, and can't afford unexpected rent spikes, and having to move bc of no fault of our own.
Of course he doesn’t want rent caps. Screw this guy!
I have been a landlord for almost 40 years as well. Should I also be screwed for trying to provide cleanup affordable housing to those that cannot afford to buy? I am totally totally against the communist practice of rent control. By the way is your income controlled by the government perhaps a screw you should be issued to you too if it’s not.
I live in Florida. Rent is so high you can barely afford to live here. It sound like a landlord cash grab to me

NO TO VOUCHERS!! Who pays for the vouchers? WE, the people, pay for those vouchers. No, thank you!!!
This is exactly why Texas has started the process of setting up our own competing stock market. We are done with monopolies.
As a landlord I can absolutely tell you if you cap rents there will be a flood of foreclosures and the properties will become slums. The free market will regulate itself.
Lease rates & home prices need to come way down in most markets in Florida because employers aren’t paying $120K + to employees to afford the current inventory!!!!!
Landlords are stressed by rising property tax, utility, maintenance and repair costs.
rentals have to pay twice the property tax of a privately owned residence yet they get even less protection under the law if any at all
I worked as a supervisor when rent control came out in California. Every realtor or property owner fought against it. For the people able to get into a property under rent control it was great for them. It was a time that owners were made to buy earthquake insurance which was expensive so rent control is something they hated. I am all for rent control. In California a single apartment is $2200 a month. Many that is the total amount they make. Owners still can raise rents but it has a cap on how much. They also can add on for certain repairs. It is a good thing for many Americans. I never saw the building go down like he said either.
California's population has declined significantly. They now have one less house seat because of it.
Government needs to stay out of this price controls period
He will still donate and vote for Biden.
They are crooks
Not realistic and madness. Rent going up 5 percent when water bills for a building goes up 16 -18 percent and taxes get overrides over 2.5 percent and inflation . It is not sustainable in Massachusetts. Likley everywhere else .
