WE CAN'T SURVIVE LIKE THIS! STOP THE LANDLORDS FROM INCREASING OUR RENTAL PAYMENTS TO WHATEVER THEY WANT.  THEY DO THIS JUST TO KICK PEOPLE OUT. THEY DO THIS BECAUSE THEY EXPECT TO GET RICH OFF OF THEIR PROPERTY.  THEY DO THIS BECAUSE THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TOLD THEM TO BECAUSE THE MORE THE RENT IS THE MORE MONEY THEY GET.

IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO FIND A PLACE TO RENT IN THIS CITY.

WHO HERE HAS HAD A HARD TIME BECAUSE...

*YOU HAVE A PET?

*YOU LOOK A CERTAIN WAY?

*YOU AREN'T A CERTAIN RACE?

*YOU HAVE A DISABILITY?

*YOU'RE SEXUAL CHOICE OR GENDER?

*YOU HAVE BAD CREDIT?

THEN WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE AMOUNT OF RENTALS HAS GONE DOWN BECAUSE OF THE NEW AIR BNB PROPERTIES??  OF COURSE ITS EASIER! OF COURSE YOU MAKE MORE MONEY! BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF YOUR CITY?

WHY DO THEY MAKE IT SO HARD FOR US TO JUST BUY A HOUSE??  WE CAN AFFORD IT! TRUST ME! MIDDLE CLASS IS GETTING SO SCREWED OVER!

IF YOU ARE LOW INCOME... YOU GET HELP.

IF YOU HAVE LOTS OF MONEY... YOURE FINE.

IF YOU ARE MIDDLE CLASS YOU MAY AS WELL BE LOW INCOME BECAUSE YOU GET CHARGED THE FULL AMOUNT FOR EVERYTHING WITHOUT HELP AND IN TURN HAVE NOTHING.  SO WHATS THE POINT OF BEING MIDDLE CLASS AND TRYING? WE DON'T GET CHEAP ANYTHING. WE DON'T GET A HAND WITH ANYTHING!  HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED INTO WHAT YOU PAY, THEN LOOK AT WHAT PEOPLE WHO CAN AFFORD THE "BEST" PAY AND WHAT KIND OF DISCOUNTS THEY GET FOR DOING SO, THEN LOOK AT WHAT THE ASSISTED PAY AND WHAT THEY GET.  IM NOT SAYING THAT LOW INCOME SHOULDN'T GET ASSISTED. SO BEFORE YOU GO ON A RANT, HEAR ME OUT. I AM SAYING WE NEED RENT CAPS. SPECIFICALLY IN CALGARY. WE DON'T GET HELP, THIS WOULD HELP.

MY BIGGEST QUESTION IS... WHY AREN'T WE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?? ARE YOU OK WITH IT????
