[Mpls] Rental Property Not The Problem

[Jim Mork]

Everybody seems to want a magic bullet on this.  Such as "deconcentration".  
But, face it, you need government intervention in the market for this, too, 
which makes it no better than rent control.  If you don't like the 
government telling our real estate capitalists what to charge, why is it SO 
much better to tell them where they can rent?  Be consistent.  As I said and 
still maintain, the problems you have that come out of rental properties do 
not come because the properties are rented instead of owned. The people who 
are bad actors end UP in rental properties because the way they learned to 
live doesnt favor real estate ownership.  And if they end up harassed for 
trying to be different, that undoubtedly comes from becoming too close to 
people who also have big problems.

What we need is some options for those people to learn functional adaptation 
to society.
