White House using one-size-fits-all plan
to protect renters at landlords' expense:
'Very frustrating'

The White House announced Wednesday it is taking strategic steps to protect renters, including setting up limits on egregious rate hikes. Critics, however, have called out the Biden administration's one-size-fits-all program that makes changes for renters at the expense of landlords. "We've seen it for so many years, and it's very frustrating," American Apartment Owners Association director Alexandra Alvarado said during Grady Trimble's report on "The Big Money Show" Wednesday. "[Mom-and-pop landlords] are not being treated differently, even though it affects them much more than it would affect any large company with thousands of units. They have room for it.

Comments:

Rents are escalating to recover the 'free rent' during the pandemic. Also, soaring interest rates means home buyers priced out of the market have to continue renting, pushing up demand. Oh - and 2 million illegal immigrants also need a roof over their heads.

Easy solution. Stop renting out property. A landlord showed me on several occasions the damage renters do. Walls torn down by huge dogs, refrigerators and showers covered with black crud, broken and never repaired windows, destroyed appliances, rooms full of rotting garbage. You never recover the losses. Rental properties around here are nearly nonexistent and that's why.

The more "protections" for renters they put in place, the fewer rental properties there will be, and the higher rents will be. It's not that difficult to see.

Didn't the WH learn anything from Roe v. Wade? The 10th Amendment means that it is up to the states. I've been a landlady. I rent now. So much happier. (lots of reasons) The owners take care of this place. The lease covers my responsibilities.

The end game objective is to bankrupt rental property owners. Then Blackrock can buy them up at foreclosure.

If you are a landlord, it is YOUR property. The government has no right to order you to do anything, one way or another.

And NO Background Checks allowed! That says it all! Not only will a Landlord have to Rent to a Low Life who just got out of jail for a Serious Crime, it probably will also shield them from being thrown out of the House if they don't pay their Rent. Remember, that's exactly what happened during COVID when Landlords were trying to evict the Bums who had not paid Rent for a year, and the Government wouldn't allow them to be kicked out! That's where we're going with this New Rule for Landlords!!

This is unconstitutional. The 4th Amendment prohibits the government from seizure of personal property which this 'plan' certainly does by telling property owners what they can and cannot do with their personal property. It also touches on the 5th amendment regarding takings clause by literally taking private property for 'public' use. Maybe the 3rd amendment regarding the quartering of troops should be amended to read the quartering of any individual in any domicile that the government decides does not have to pay the rent that they agreed to when renting the property..

Democrats and far-left green groups have set their sights on regulating a wide range of popular household appliances in a bid to push their broader electrification and climate agenda. The push to regulate everyday appliances — including water heaters, furnaces, clothes washers, dishwashers, ceiling fans, microwave ovens and shower heads — comes as the Biden administration and Democratic lawmakers continue to set lofty net-zero and climate goals for weaning off fossil fuel dependence. Environmentalists have argued that electrification, banning natural gas hookups and implementing strict energy efficiency standards could help accelerate emissions reductions.

Michigan's auto industry has its "hiring" signs out, but few are applying and some who do quit by lunchtime. It is a nationwide problem that's hit small mom-and-pop suppliers and reverberated to the biggest carmakers in the world. The challenge is serious enough that the Michigan Manufacturers Association has increased its budget and brought in a new director of workforce development to aggressively promote auto manufacturing jobs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of people employed by motor vehicle and parts manufacturers declined by 3,500 in January. In February, the decrease was larger, with a decline of

California lawmakers are pushing legislation that would impose a new tax on the state's wealthiest residents — even if they've already moved to another part of the country.

People in an Atlanta neighborhood are concerned about a possible long-term closure of their Walmart after a fire closed the store a month ago. It’s the location on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in northwest Atlanta. Channel 2 Action News spoke with those in the community about the importance of the store. “Losing this store will be a huge loss to the community,” Atlanta City Councilman Byron Amos said.

U.S. customs officials are cracking down on egg smugglers. With egg prices soaring in the U.S. over the last year, more Americans are crossing into Mexico to buy the food item and trying to sneak cartons of raw eggs along some areas of the southern border, including California and Texas. "We are seeing an increase in people attempting to cross eggs from Juarez to El Paso because they are significantly less expensive in Mexico than the U.S.," U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Roger Maier told CBS MoneyWatch. "This is also occurring with added frequency at other Southwest border locations."

Cities including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and New York City — which are collectively home to more than 10 million Americans — have enacted varying restrictions on natural gas hookups impacting gas-powered furnaces, ovens and stoves. Leaders of the Democrat-led cities have argued that transitioning away from natural gas would help achieve climate and net-zero ambitions. "New York City is proof that it’s possible to

Shoppers across the nation have been scrambling for months to keep up with soaring egg prices. Prices continue to skyrocket – up 60% in December from a year earlier. Last year, the average price for a dozen large Grade A eggs in the U.S. was $1.93 in January. By December, when egg demand peaked, the price surged to $4.25. The high prices prompted a "He went to Kroger" meme, with an egg in place of an engagement ring in the "He went to Jared" jewelry advertisement.

It sounds like a bad joke about woke gone amok, but it’s not.

It turns out, you see, that Norwegians were behind the innovation of titanium white paint, which is considered pure white. The university wants researchers to explore “the cultural and aesthetic changes instigated by titanium white … and how can both the material in itself and these changes be conceptualized and made visible?”

An elevated rate of Bell’s palsy was identified among elderly people after vaccination with a Pfizer booster shot, U.S. regulators said in a new study. The “small but statistically significant elevation” in Bell’s palsy was detected after vaccination with Pfizer’s old booster, which is no longer available in the United States, researchers with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in a preprint study. The elevated rate resulted in an adjusted incidence rate ratio of 1.13 and remained consistent when researchers adjusted for different factors, such as prior COVID-19 infection. A rate above one shows a possible connection between the vaccine and an adverse event.
