88. Maybe for him 10000 isn't a lot

But for me that's about 4 months salary without any other expenses. In other words unobtainable without a loan of some sort. I know you get this, too bad the op doesn't.

So you got locked out of your own thread, and you want to start over, eh? X_Digger Aug 2015 #1
As I said, there were a vast number of repetitious comments raising the same objections. True Blue Door Aug 2015 #3
I said it over in the other thread. If you hadn't called someone a freeper, you could reply. n/t X_Digger Aug 2015 #4
One more for the Ignore List. Bye. True Blue Door Aug 2015 #7
Given your smug dismissal of real problems with your proposal, it doesn't surprise me.. X_Digger Aug 2015 #20

Thanks for the insulting thought-terminating cliches, but I'm only interested in real comments. True Blue Door Aug 2015 #54
No, you're only interested in people who agree with this tripe. Throd Aug 2015 #62

Posting this twice doesn't make it less silly mythology Aug 2015 #8
The OP argues otherwise, and your failure to answer any of its points concedes as much. True Blue Door Aug 2015 #13
It certainly doesn't argue persuasively mythology Aug 2015 #60

The problem is that in cities where there is high demand for rentals snagglepuss Aug 2015 #70
That doesn't justify the OP's solution hack89 Aug 2015 #97

Again, this is a question for the details of specific legislation. True Blue Door Aug 2015 #17
How can we have a discussion if your solution is to 'wait for the legislation' Travis_0004 Aug 2015 #21
We can have a discussion about possible aspects of legislation. True Blue Door Aug 2015 #27
Ok, lets discuss one aspect Travis_0004 Aug 2015 #46

"The status quo grievously harms renters." Apparently, there was disagreement with that... cherokeeprogressive Aug 2015 #11
Rents constantly increase while incomes don't. True Blue Door Aug 2015 #18
All you're doing is stating an opinion; I respect that. But in the end, ALL it is, is an opinion. cherokeeprogressive Aug 2015 #22
It is not opinion that rents constantly increase while incomes don't. True Blue Door Aug 2015 #29

Chiming in to say you have nothing to say is really unnecessary. True Blue Door Aug 2015 #32

Responding to your disruptive comments is the waste of time. Ignored. Bye. True Blue Door Aug 2015 #38
In your case, I am quite pleased to be on the ignore list. GitRDun Aug 2015 #41
