Reply to comment by iwearlederhosen in How much is your rent going up? by archetype1

Where did I say rent should never go up? I don’t buy for one second that some of the rent increases people are talking about here cover what you’re talking about in a way that’s not straight up exploitative.

“If you don’t like it, too bad, shut up” is basically what you’re saying here. I own, so this doesn’t actually affect me, but excuse me for having the temerity to care about other people I guess.

ETA My ideal solution is “don’t exploit people.”

Put the comments together then I don't understand. I agree there are predators. My only point for an increase is based on cost increase not greed. OPs rate going up 6-10% is on par with actual cost increases. There's nothing to do about that. 40% move until there's some form of enforceable rent control
