    Uhhh… a a renter, there a lot of issues that need to be addressed in the market. My asshole neighbors not having pets is not one of them. In fact, pet owners contribute to the shittiness of my situation. Fuck 'em.

        Based on what? Not wanting to step in your dog’s shit and listen to it bark incessantly in tight living quarters with little soundproofing? 🤡

        You’re an entitled piece of shit who makes the lives of everyone around you worse. Marinate on that, though your narcissism is likely in the way.

          Based on the way you’re acting as if all pet owners are assholes who don’t take care of their pets.

            So many seem to be that way? Sure definitely know some people who train their pets, but so many don’t seem to. Let your dog out at all hours to bark? Sure why not!

    “Goolsby now has four dogs, seven cats, a fish and a bird.”

    The woman in the article has over 10 animals. This isn’t a renters vs landlords thing this is an irresponsible pet owner.

      To be fair, right after that, the article says:

      Haney said his legislation would likely limit the number of pets landlords must accept and allow landlords to require pet liability insurance. Details on how many pets would be covered under the bill are still being worked out.

      But I also don’t think this bill is worth giving a shit about when people without pets can’t even afford to rent.

        That’s true, I think it’s disengenuous of the article to try and play both sides here. Luckily I don’t live in the hell hole that is San Fransisco.

          Whether you do or not, people have to because that’s where the jobs are. And they can’t afford to. And that’s the real problem.

              I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Do you think everyone in San Francisco can be a plumber or an electrician?

              People need to do things like work the espresso machine at Starbucks because, at least for now, we don’t have robots to do it. And they can’t afford to live in the city.

                No, not everyone in San Fransisco can be an electrician or plumber, but the many that are complaining about high prices of rent can learn a trade and move to lower cost areas where the pay is good. The people working Starbucks espresso machines are in the same boat. If you’re working 40+ hours a week and can’t find a place with roomates to live you need to move somewhere more affordable.

                  Fine. Who is going to make the coffee? Or flip the burgers? Or wash the dishes? Or deliver pizza?

                  Should San Francisco not have any low-cost food options?

                  Because you sure don’t sound like you think service industry workers deserve more pay.
