  • Rental, down payment and financing assistance are how we got into this situation in the first place. Giving people money just drives the prices up.

      There are way more people with money offering (or being asked for) over the advertised rent to get an apartment than there are people getting help with rent. It's fighting over apartments that's driving prices up. Not aid.

      • Think about this: you're a scummy landlord.

        CoA offers your tenant a nice $300 contribution toward rent. Do you:

        A) Be a real swell person and let them keep paying rent at the current rate or

        B) raise the rent by $300
