    In Philly, 44% of rent is between $1,001 and $1,500. Mind you that many residents make a measly $7.25 per hour. This. Is. Not. Okay. #RaiseTheWage

        Raise the wage to tax them more. How about adults get a job that doesn't pay crap? I made 7.25 an hr 20 years ago as a teenager in high school.

        Its actually hard to find a job that pays over 10 bucks when you have no experience or eductation in that area. 7.25 an hour gives about 200 a week for 40 hours. I used to work 48 hours a week in west philly and still couldnt drive a car or pay my part of bills. And im in college

        It’s actually very good policy. It is a shame they didn’t teach you that at (*looks at Mr. Georgetown’s a cappella group full of future lords of the land and Brett Kavanaughs*) ohhh I see

        I wasn’t in any of Georgetown’s a cappella groups, I didn’t go to Georgetown prep, and anyone who understands basic economics knows why rent control is a bad idea. I knew that even before I went to Georgetown. 😂

        Yeah I might be a descendant of slaves who grew up in section 8 housing in North Philadelphia and went to Georgetown on scholarship but if some white rando tankie suggests I’m a rich Hoya then I guess it’s true regardless of the facts 🤷🏾‍♂️😂 #RentControlDoesNotHelpPoorPeople

        It may be that the US government is not particularly good at implementing affordable housing policies; it seems that other countries do a better job that we do. Our economic system is America is *very* “special” lol
