basilico: And you abide by govt dictas or the market to set your rent? Walk the talk or admit you are only trolling.
Mamdani has not said he will tell landlords what to charge. What he said he will and can do is freeze government owned social housing rent.
As for tax. I don't have a problem with the uber wealthy paying a couple percent more. It's not exactly gonna hurt a trillion dollar ceo much I don't think. But if they that greedy and selfish and don't wanna pay, they can bugger off to Iowa.
BluntCrazeMan: I tweeted them at that time though...
But being that I didn't later get to pay,, I guess that was the reason they didn't even bother to respond to me..
They didn't even show me the list of offences and their penalties -- which I requested for on several occasions after that.
Encourage everyone to tweet this your beautifully written thread to them and Facebook them and Instagram etc them, for youus, so we all benefit that you handled them so well. Thank you.
Reminds me how I right hand drove a danfo full of books from Lagos to the Orolu Kingdom. I took over after the driver decided to fight police at the first check point at the port.
I'd drive past all the traffic and stop at their point and tell them I'm taking these books to the library in the Kingdom. Here, have a book. It is all I have. And if they don't let me go I'd start giving books to passengers in the cars and they couldn't collect ₦50 from them.
The one ₦50 I paid was in Ifon at quatre to midnight because I was burnt out. I'd been on the road since 6am. Lagos-Ibadan-Osogbo-Ifon was like 20 checkpoints.
raumdeuter: The solution is for govt and people like Mamdani to stop raising taxes. Cos you cannot raise taxes and expect the landlord not to raise rents
I'm certain he'd find that out of true.
raumdeuter: The landlord will only sell what he is buying. If mortgage is expensive for him then he cant do but pass it on to the tenants. Its for socialist like Mandani and the democrats who have a fetish on taxing people out of existence to think about the effects on regular folks
Landlord can sell too if it's unprofitable for him.
I'm going to wait to see what Mamdani does. He might be like most politicians who says one thing and does it's opposite once in, either because reality hits or he lied.
raumdeuter: Govt increase property taxes like Mamdani said he will. If Mamdani increase taxes, how should Landlord afford it without raising rents.
How should tenant afford the rise when their earnings haven't risen?
raumdeuter: The govt that poured money into the economy to ease covid has decided to mop it up to keep economy running and address inflation, those that took cars beyond their earning or bought houses based on false earnings due to govt subsidy in covid will have to pay for it with real income now
They are paying for it. Loosing their cars too, and their house if mortgaged. And some can't pay rent, not to talk of the rises.
Don't get me wrong Raum, I'm Adam Smith the baker the brewer the builder the landlord, but I want the tenant added too.
Here's from Fenrir. It's Lagos but I'm certain NY should at least be on par
Ventura1: The ultimate plan is to use the Christian persecution campaign to destabilize Nigeria, with the targeted beneficiary left to their fate after causing the crisis.
raumdeuter: So what should happen to the cost that the govt impose n landlord through taxes an the increased insurance? That is why it will not work. If a landlord consistently makes losses, he will sell the house and other developers wont have the incentive to build more there creating a housing shortage and now increase of rents. Or you want the landlord to continue footing your housing cost? That is the thing with socialism, Its always about having someone else pay for you.
The landlord can vote for a person who campaigns to stop stealing their money by charging unnecessary costs. I mean, why is govt charging and increasing insurance when govt should not even be in insurance business?
raumdeuter: Did you read the link you posted on why Carmax stock is down and has been trending down for the past 2yrs or you just post links without reading the content? Tariffs were imposed 7months ago but the link said Carmax stock has been tanking for the past 2 yrs after the highs of 2021 when there was a lot of free money in the market
And that's the point. Free money has stopped, so consumers can not pay rent that inflated during COVID, so the landlord has to reduce rent or no one will buy cars.
It's actually already happening in the housing market in fact. That prices are too high so no one is buying.
You can't just keep increasing your charges hoping consumers will keep on paying, because wages don't rise that fast. Unless we unionise and demand more of course.
Fenrir: I actually had to read the Quran under orders during my deployment in Afghanistan — hardly voluntary. Yet somehow, you’re upset about 30 grown men and not the kids. That says plenty.
Ref for both please. I'd like to see where you read it, thanks.
raumdeuter: You rent is determined by how much the mortgage company charges your landlord, How much govt charges for Property taxes and Your home owners insurance
If you pay mortgage of $3000 per month and you rent to people at $3200 to get a $200 rent, When your mortgage increases t $3500 due to increase in Insurance property tax etc. How do you bring your rent down
By signing a long term lease so you can't jack the rent because your costs, and voting Mamdani.
HgAkpobomeEr: The Nigerian government and its citizens will respond appropriately to any foreign threat. We are not interested in any self-serving intervention that will only further enslave us.
Rutherford2019: Tinubu was very lucky that he didn't go to USA to meet Trump The thing is that all the people saying that there's no Christian genocide have said that there's Christian genocide in the past
HacheNoire: Hello, every country got his own problem and no sane president insults another nation based on their problems. Yes, their is room to assist and support other country, and shouldn’t be by degradation of our sovereignty.
We have our problems and we working on it and same time need assistance. It’s not a reason to insult our country and nationality, and same time fabricate false propaganda.
You deserve the award!
I would not have minded if dump had said, Northern genocide.
