My impaired internet access is directly a consequence of someone else's misdeeds.

We are not talking about your internet. We are talking about your entire life and all the bad decisions you made

Not speaking too the person who has a issue.. but if a person been at the same job for decades and maxed out and yet you still keep increasing their rent, your really messing with their budget. Most people forget, rent rises faster than a person pay. So each time my rent increases, your telling me to go ask for a raise so i can pay for it.. So i got to do this every 6 months? when my profession is maxed out in pay. ( just a example). According to your reply...

Rent should be a safe percentage of your income . If one's rent starts to eat to much than obviously one can not afford to live where they do. they need to find away to increase income or move ,like it or not.

When I started my career I had 3 jobs going on. I was an hvac tech , I did service at night on my own and I was a drummer doing gigs

I came from an NYC housing project. There was no way going back was ever going to be an option no matter what i had to do .

it all depends on how committed to fixing the short fall you are .

if you are not making the income you need and expenses are increasing , you need to be proactive or else end up like freemkt.

no different than weight loss - eat less or move more . complaining about it fixes nothing .

California homeowners responded to this problem by passing Prop 13. Renters experiencing this problem should either abolish exclusionary zoning (extremely unlikely given homeowner animus) or pass rent control.

How would that help? Libraries can and so restrict individual access.

You've never articulated how your restricted internet access has ruined your ability to earn more money. Everyone I know without internet service at home uses the library and they get by just fine.

Of course you're different, you're only able to post here 24/7, but you have impaired access.

From the landlord's perspective, he needs to raise rents to cover increased property taxes, increased maintenance costs, etc.

If you are maxed out on pay, you need to find something more affordable or pursue a new career.

As has already been stated: You blame everyone but yourself. Life isn't easy and nobody said it was. We all make mistakes. I lived with the bottle until age 35. Got sober, then picked up what I had left which wasn't much.

Stop making excuses because once you hit 30 you'll find many people stop buying the "woe is me" act.

Prop 13 was and is a mistake. All sorts of economic distortion was a result.
