High Rents

Everybody is complaining about high rents.  What I find so ironic is that the places with the most "democratic-fair-trade-liberal-organic-free-range-Prius-driving-tree-hugging-recycling-earthers" such as San Francisco, Berkeley, Marin, etc., are commanding the highest rent increases.

All liberals are for the socialist movement -- until it impacts their own pocket book or well being.  It's at that point their hypocracy shows.  At least Republicans pretty much openly admit their selfishness.  Democrats are just more coy about it.

Let's talk about rules of economic policy.  Democrats LOVE fairness and sharing until it's called upon them to personally open up their own pocket books or personally inconveniences them.  All rules of economic policy apply to everybody else.  Never to them personally.  The liberals bitching and complaining about "gentrification" of neighborhoods displaced a local when they moved in.  They are the ones who show up at a local pizza joint driving an Audi decked out to to the 9's asking if the pizza crust is "gluten free."

There is a band of homies wanting to bash their heads in upon exiting.

How to tell if your neighborhood has been "gentrified" and it's too late?  You have a restaurant that caters to vegans.

Move away.  Immediately.  Your neighborhood is doomed.  You will soon be overrun by the Bored Moms on Prozac.  Unless you own your own home and now want to rent it out.  Congratulations.  You were one of the smart ones.  Now, put it up for rent.  You will have renters lined up wanting your home.  Now, tell one of the "liberal" renters you could rent it out for a disadvantaged family for 5 at $150 less than what you were asking.  The "liberals" will up their ante to snag up your house in desirable Sonoma County displacing the disadvanted.  So much for fairness and one-world-one-love.
