“This bill may have unintended consequences of creating a hostile environment for providers of rental housing and could result in further diminished supply of rental housing based on inadequate data.”
The idea that landlords provide housing is so insanely ass-backwards
“Landlords provide housing!”
Construction Workers:
Landlords providing housing is such a ludicrous concept that you have to be getting paid by landlords to believe it
Landlords provide housing in the same way insurance companies provide healthcare. It’s cynical neoliberal semantic dancing.
Rent counts toward GDP so if the state built housing and provided it for free that would make the country less economically productive, since all that money going towards rent no longer is, and all you would get for it is housing for everyone

“The cost of rent is already too high,” he wrote.
“Ackyually by telling porky he has enough and ripping his ill-gotten gains out of his trotters, it’ll make him throw a big tantrum and make rent more expensive!”
Then we just rip that out of his trotters again until that pig learns to restrain his gluttony.
Antitrust and anti monopoly pricing? Collusion between competitors? Yeah we’re not having that. Which is great because the contradictions will destroy capitalism
somebody should veto jared polis
Jason Stathem is, “The Parlemantarian”. Coming to movie theaters this summer!
In his veto letter, Polis said he agreed with the intent of the bill, writing that “collusion between landlords for purposes of artificially constraining rental supply and increasing costs on renters is wrong.”
But, he said, such practices are already illegal under Colorado’s Antitrust Act, and “violators should be held accountable” under existing law.
You stupid fuck. Even if the law is entirely redundant, you pass it, take credit for it, drop the hammer on the price-fixing landlords, and become a public hero. Simple fucking politics.
Fucking Democrats.
This only works if you aren’t counting on those landlords to contribute to your campaign.
Gotta get those donation matches from somewhere.
