Epoch Times - Here's Why California Landlords Are Being Called 'Evil' #ChrisMoore #californiainsider #landlord Aired: 2023-10-22 Duration: 00:55 [00:00:00] The people that provide housing to the community in Oakland, California are considered evil because it's assumed that they're raising the rents and they're taking advantage of the community. [00:00:09] Whereas the city councils are passing very costly ordinances, they're raising taxes all the time, and they're preventing the production of housing. [00:00:17] So they are actually the ones that are causing the increase in the But they very effectively have blamed it on the housing providers. [00:00:23] They've created this division between housing providers and renters. [00:00:27] Housing providers need renters. [00:00:28] They don't want to have a division. [00:00:30] Renters need housing providers because they need a place to live. [00:00:32] The market has been communicated to and what you have with politicians and tenant advocates is housing is a human right. [00:00:38] Housing should be free for all. [00:00:40] If you have 10 to 20 percent, the renters are feeling more entitled. [00:00:43] They believe that they should be able to get housing for free. [00:00:46] There's been many, many, many housing providers that have not received any renter over three years. [00:00:52] I think if housing is a human right, then the government needs to provide that housing.
