Where in LA are illegals voting?
a non citizen was federally charged in Washington parish recently for voting.

In rent.


Not just rent.

Because the local merchants have to pay more rent to their landlords as well.

Their cost of doing business goes up as a result, so prices do too.

Not directly.

Do you think they’re smart enough to figure that out?

Thank your friends and neighbors that were too busy to vote yesterday or do early voting. I voted against all 3 propositions. Bottom line is citizens can’t be bothered to pay attention to how the government constantly fricks them over so we get what we deserve. I agree it’s infuriating

That’s what they think, and they are wrong. They pay the tax when property owners pass it along


Not if the rent is subsidized
