    That’s weird. It’s almost like greedy landlords used that as an excuse to jack up rent! I know housing skyrocketed in many places where the minimum wage remained flat. I’ve also personally witnessed it…

      Exactly - They know they can squeeze another dollar out of you, so they do. Landlords shouldn’t be able to make a massive amount of profit, if they were forced to be non-profit then they’d probably not exist at all.
