Over the last four years, rents have skyrocketed by an average of over 30% nationwide and are a major factor in the overall inflation rate. There are a variety of factors behind the increases, including an overall housing shortage. But the Department of Justice is investigating another potential cause: a massive criminal conspiracy among large landlords.
I am actually shocked that something is being done even if, ultimately, nothing will change.
For the evilness of the overall system, we can’t forget that there still are good people and comrades working within it that genuinely want to make positive changes and fight back.
