So once again, you are being an asshole and trying to cause them financial losses because you don't like the rent they're proposing. Nothing further to discuss, you be you.

Are you saying you're not being an asshole? How would you feel if instead of being given four months to find a new place if you choose not to renew the lease you were not notified of the upcoming rent increase until the very last minute allowed by law?

"Play stupid games win stupid prizes" - how is that not confrontational? You yourself admitted you purposely wanted to drag the (non)renewal notification for as long as possible for no reason other than trying to screw over the apartment owner.

I am not, but thanks to clowns like you when time comes to move instead of renting my condo out for a few dollars more than it costs me I will sell it to the highest bidder who will proceed to rape your wallet in the most brutal way imaginable. You be you and before you know it everything is owned by Alpha Management and costs $5,000/month.

You'll end up winning the stupid prize - they'll find a replacement in a heartbeat while you'll need to find an apartment within 30 days which won't be easy and you won't have a good reference from your landlord which will make things even more difficult. But you be you.

You don't have to but don't be surprised if you're told your lease isn't being renewed if you wait till the last minute. You're not required to notify your landlord this far in advance by law but they're also not required to renew the lease, they'll just assume you're not renewing and find another tenant.

Housing built by connected developers using taxpayer dollars with zero oversight? That $50M might get you 25-30 studios, if you’re lucky…

Not quite, you’re the one who sounds like an irresponsible dbag.

Looks like an eviction waiting to happen.

Unlike with the lottery, playing stupid games guarantees you will eventually win a stupid prize.

Wait, so you have 40x income, 750+ credit score AND a voucher?

Make 40x the monthly rent, have 750+ credit score and stellar prior landlord references? Voucher or not, come right over! Have 400 credit score and a bunch of prior eviction? Go pound sand, no soup apartment for you - irresponsible deadbeats are not a protected class! That's how it works in the real world bucko.

Only when everyone else applying has lower income, lower credit score, worse employment history and worse landlord references than the voucher holder that makes your heart bleed so profusely.

Of course it is, racism as well - low credit score due to poor decisions is a protected class, amex black for all!

In other words, common sense.

So are you saying one absolutely has to choose a voucher holder even when they have 50 potential renters with six figure salaries and perfect credit score fighting over the pen to sign the lease?

Boston might be pro-trans but it is also extremely anti-wallet, keep that in mind.

I am talking about beach towns trying to keep the non-locals out in general.

Look, I know it feels great to virtue signal and show everyone just how inclusive and progressive you are, but why don’t you keep it contained within your usual circlejerk and not do a great disservice to those not familiar with the area by steering them to clearly unsafe locations? It’s your types that routinely tell others places like Grove Hall are perfectly safe and anyone saying otherwise is all sorts of *ist.

https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ma/brockton/crime - one out of 156 chance of being a victim of violent crime one out of 63 chance of being a victim of property crime might not be as bad as Jackson, MS but I would not call it “safe” by any means.

That wasn’t my question - I specifically asked, are you saying Brockton or Lawrence have lower crime rate than an average middle class square state suburb?

On one hand, fuck the NIMBYs. On the other, i can see why towns are getting fed up with their beaches getting trashed on a daily basis.

Thousands attend local hate group gatherings on a daily basis, none get fired. And speaking of globe, they’ve been known to make some very interesting choices when naming their Bostonians of the year…

Are you saying Brockton or Lawrence are safer than an average middle of nowhere suburb in one of the square states?

You quite literally have to hack your kids to pieces in order to have them taken away meaning all the kinds who are nothing but human ATMs to their "parents" do not stand a chance.
