"If you knew poor people, you would know they have been thrown out of house and home because they couldn't afford a 25% rent increase, so they go with what property they can carry into our shelter system."

And why was the Landlord able to raise the rent 25%? Because not enough rental properties are available, because the idiots who support rent control have stopped would be Landlords from offering their properties on the market, creating a massive shortage.

But you probably have to be a economist to understand that.
