I think calling him a troll is giving him way too much credit. I think he really believes all the ridiculousness he spouts.
The real problem with ignorance is that the ignorant are rarely aware of their ignorance.

July 30, 2010 at 5:38 PM #584626NewtoSanDiegoGuestRich, thanks for your comments, I know I come across as a bit uncouth at times. I’ve tried to keep this on-topic with regard to housing. You have a great forum, that I hope is open to a variety of opinions.
Looks like I touched a bit of a nerve in some of you folks. Here’s a quick response….
Negotiating new terms at the end of a lease is just good business practice for a landlord. There is nothing unethical about it.
There are, of course techniques that may raise an eyebrow, but highballing is neither unethical nor illegal.
It is just negotiations 101. Negotiation is done in nearly every aspect of the business world. Is low-balling an offer during offer to buy unethical?
Is threatening to walk unethical?
A person can always walk if they don’t like the terms of the deal.
How do you think Donald Trump got to where he is? He got rich by good negotiations, taking money from others, got it? Perhaps not a great example.
If you want the new consumer protection agency getting involved a Landlord-renter negotiation, then this is another step to nanny state.
People have to grow up. Things aren’t all puppy dogs and lollipops.
Lesson to all you renters…..Negotiate. Don’t take the first offer. Your landlord may be testing you.
There are some percentage of landlords who like to play hardball occasionally for sport and profit, including me.
With regard to socio-economic status. I just stated the facts. There is a high correlation between socio-economic status and renting.
There’s plenty of research out there. Please don’t ask me to include. Do you dispute that people in a rental complex will on whole have lower incomes than SFH homeowners?
If you like renting and moving your kids every couple years go right ahead. If you like being worried about your landlord going into foreclosure or wondering when he’s gonna fix the leaky pipe after 9 months!, go right ahead.
Homeownership now is probably a good idea. We have historic low interest rates (in the face of likely inflation in coming years) and coming off the bottom now for over a year. Sure things will go down again, that is the nature of the real estate market. Up and down, Up Up Up Up, Down down down, Up, down, flat, flat, etc.
If you want cheap real estate move to Detroit or Cleveland
You piggington folks are an odd bunch, some of you will continue to wait for the bottom for the rest of your life. One day you will get to the end your career and going into retirement you will have no equity and continue to rent month to month, living on social security, which will be bankrupt by then unfortunately.
Does anybody dispute what I say? Great thing about America is free speech. Perhaps some of you want to muzzle me, but please don’t be so thinned skinned. Can’t we all get along? Reminds me, I need to get a muzzle for my dog
