Comment: As a duplex owner I'm not a slumlord and I charge a reasonable rent. I'm embarrassed by the greed of some owners and management companies. I've been a victim of one such company in the late eighties and vowed not to be a greedy landlord. Greed has ruined our life. I work a hourly job and know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck. The worlds pay scale is screwed up.  People working for eweb making 30 bucks an hour, the  manager making 175,000 or more is out of line. Getting a college education and trying to pay for it for the rest of you life is screwed up. Football coaches making millions while raising college tuition every year, screwed up. The rich get richer the hourly  worker gets screwed most of the time. 
Sorry people, it's a great big screwed up world.
