GRAPH MADNESS: KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS A belief that making rents higher and easier to raise will actually lower rents, A belief that the high cost of housing is caused by too many tenant rights, A belief that enticing investors through deregulation will trump their desire for higher profits, A belief that investor profits are beyond political discussion, and that investment is the only possible engine of production for social infrastructure, In some rare cases, a fixation on the narrow representations of the world like graphs and tables that exclipses observations about the world itself, and the effects of people in the world. A total devotion to the perfect pattern-grid-world of the imagination.
INVESTOR PROFITS EAT UP THE LABOUR OF THE WORKING CLASS As long tenants pay for the profits of investor middlement including landlords, interest on loans, land value speculation, and flipping profits... rent will be too damn high. [Graph- a significant part of the example rent is "profits for investors" - including land value profits, interest to banks, profits and refinancing, and "a little extra for mr landlord."] FUN FACT: A SYSTEM WHERE PRIVATE LANDLORDS, DEVELOPERS, AND INVESTORS ARE IN CHARGE OF HOUSING CAN NEVER BE AFFORDABLE
IT'S BASICALLY A LAW OF THE UNIVERSE A HOUSING SYSTEM THAT CAN'T PRODUCE HOUSING WITH RENT CONTROLS IS A HOUSING SYSTEM THAT CAN NEVER PRODUCE AFFORDABILITY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
