Bernie just last week advocated for federal rent controls. The government tells you what you are allowed to charge for your rentals. What could go wrong?
Bernie is a fricking moron that couldn't pass an Econ 1001 class. His supporters are just as bad. Meanwhile he's become rich as a "public servant"

I'm a little uncertain how I feel about it tbh. I feel very differently about violent vs non violent felons.
Nonviolent felons in Louisiana includes burglars and thieves

The lawmakers also criticize criminal databases as unreliable, and they argue that racial biases in the courts and the prison system translate into housing discrimination under the current status quo.
Just wow

First sign of an authoritarian government is when they decrease private property rights.
Horrible

Landlords will find ways around this.
Yeah not renting to black people which will happen. It sucks but I think this will have the opposite effect they’re intending.
I was thinking more like they'll ask for work history or something like that.
Any gaps in employment will be questioned

I generally assume anyone supporting Bernie dropped out of school in 10th grade, is in the service industry and believe oconomics is a type of medical specialty.

Laws banning background checks are awful for young black men without criminal records, because it forces landlords to choose whom to rent to based on the entire race, not individuals
Do you think that housing discrimination based on race is legal in Oakland or something?

Of course this drooling retard is on board with this.

Itsbeen illegal for decades and people still do it. Reducing tools at the hands of landlords will make it worse.

Liberal Democrats are such clueless, racist pieces of shite. They truly believe that money grows on trees and that those big bad EVIL rich people can and SHOULD pay for everything.
Now you can’t do a criminal background check on someone renting YOUR property? All because Democrats are entitled pieces of shite.

They will raise the price to keep the riffraff out.

I’m sure that there are limits on how much you can charge for a newly vacant apartment despite the likelihood you were getting below market rate on your last tenant.

Why don’t they just ban crime?

The same database they use for gun background checks?

They are trying a roundabout way of it.
Shoplifting apparently isn’t chargeable for less than $500 of merchandise out there.
I expect retailers to start charging $501 for all items with a membership that cuts the price by $500 per item when you pay by cash or card.

I can't get a plastic bag for my groceries but being forced to rent to murderers and drug peddlers is A-Ok!
