    LOL, see my comment! That’s exactly what will happen. Some of the small-time landlords will do the right thing, but this is free money to the soulless corporate home owners.

      You misunderstand me.

      We jack up rent to $30,000 a month so minimum wage goes up to $1000/hr.

      Now everyone makes that or more so we can buy houses and raise rent to $300,000 a month and all make $10,000/hr and retire early.

      If small business owners or franchises can’t exist in the new way of doing business than they go bankrupt and someone else takes over.
