I could have been a landlord a few times but I personally cannot accept that risk. A renter can ruin your house and if they are poor, you can not get that money back. The time to deal with the stuff can be oppressive as well.
Would anyone want the government to enact laws that prevent you from moving to a better job that pays you double because the poor guy you worked for before wasn't given 3 months notice.

Quite the ignorant comment Fotze.
It's not always about goals and aspirations that lead a person to make a decision as to weather they own a home or rent a home. Lots of different cicumstances are involved in where someone might end up, that might be the fact that someone died like the husband and father and he was the only one bringing in money as the wife is at home looking after the kids. This leads to more homeless people, but i'm sure your the type that thinks that everyone who is homeless didn't set his goals correctly.
The way the cost of this city is going right now they are going to have more problems down the road than just rent. The homeless shelter is full right now, the youth emergency shelter is full to capacity and have to turn kids away, people are freezing to death because they have to spend the night outside, these problems are going to keep piling up as time goes by.
But the problems that i listed Fotze is all due to people not having their goals set right hey? The cost of a house doubled over a 2 year period, did wages? Once people start leaving the city in swarms it might shine a light that something is wrong, until then the government is happy to just sit back and get rich.
