Got it! I’ll sell my home and my dream of homeownership to someone who can 100% afford it without the rental income from the first floor. I’m sure there are lots of Boston investors who fit that bill, who will gladly jack the rent up and probably further the issues you are fighting against here.

No one including corporations should own a second house until everyone has a home. We need public housing for everyone managed by the residents themselves.

My 2-family home is my one and only home. If you are making me the enemy, you have a losing cause.

We aren’t making you an enemy, in fact we know you are likely way different than a medium or larger landlord. But you should still have to abide by landlord and tenancy laws. And we believe these should be updated for the 21st century.
