    You can’t deny the purchase of a single family home from a person and businesses are people in this upside down country

        Just because California’s cool doesn’t mean the entire country gets to benefit. And until Citizens United at least gets weekend, then we’ve got fucking corporations with an equal or stronger voice than humans dying on the streets from heat stroke

        ETA: I was obviously really tired and not thinking when I wrote this. I’d edit it, but I like to own up to my mistakes. Have a great weakened, everyone!

          I didn’t downvote you for your response, but also didn’t feel the need to explain it further.

          To add to it however, a proposed bill in Minnesota’s Senate would ban the conversion of single-family ownership housing into rental housing.

          In the US Congress, legislation has also been introduced to prohibit hedge funds from owning single-family homes.

          Progress is slow, but it’s happening.

            You’re making very valid points and I appreciate your optimism. I’m just being a sarcastic, salty little baby about shit cuz I’m in a mood about all this.
