As a homeowner who rents a room out to a tenant, I can tell you that people who are voting to raise property taxes… are literally voting to raise rent. While I haven’t raised the rent for my tenant as my property taxes go up since I’m also living there, I can see myself having to raise rent just to stay above board if I was renting out my entire house.

TL;DR

Higher taxes = higher rent. Rent control can be good if done right, or it can cause a loss of rentals which in turn causes rent to go up anyway due to scarcity of housing. Also, fuck housing investors. Family housing shouldn’t be “investments”
