Up next: "You can't afford rent, therefore you're at risk for premature death. So we'll be increasing how much you pay for health insurance."

Of course. The more you have to spend on shelter, the less you have for everything else.

Cuts should be made at the top, not the bottom. Always. If you have to raise your rents, no you don't. You have spare properties, you're doing fine.

Well if they’re going to die they’d better go ahead and do it and decrease the surplus population!

Seems I read that somewhere before.

Ifs goddamn social murder and nobody will be held responsible. But they should

That's what corporate wants, die just before you retire so they can maximize profits.

Next we'll need a study that proves gun rights increase death rates.

Yep. Social murder of the poor, minorities, and especially of poor minorities is one of the main pillars of the fucked up system.

Causing physical harm to capitalists is self-defense.

This doesn't sound like it is about rent prices, but more about the income of the individual.

If you have more money, you can spend more on healthcare, higher quality food, ...

Of course if rent was cheaper people would have more money, but in absolute values (not %), I don't think the study would see as much of a difference

In the thumbnail of the image, I didn't see the "u" in "housing," so I thought it said: "Hosing is a human right". Immediately though of riot control water canons... And then that it was someone very into a specific kind of submissive BDSM that has no other outlet for their need.

Sorry.

Let's give retirees $1000 a month in social security to live on while basic rent on a junky place is $2500 a month. Then let's calculate that a 65 year old person may live to 85. 20 years. You got the funky result study above.
