Gothamist: New Jersey restricts rent-setting algorithms amid rising housing costs. “The law, called the FAIR Act, prohibits certain types of sensitive data — including rental prices, housing supply, occupancy levels and lease termination dates — from being used to inform rent-setting algorithms. It also bars landlords from coordinating to raise rents in parallel. The law will take effect […]

Following mixed feedback and extended discussions, City Council voted to prohibit the use of Ratio Utility Billing Systems (RUBS), in which tenants in a multi-unit complex can be billed flat rates for utilities rather than by exact usage.

Yo, #billionaires!
Highwaymen used to give a choice to those they held up, "Your money or your life?"
If all y'all are sooo smart, why don't you know:
- #Unions are the enlightened alternative to #violence, including violence upon #owners and their minion #bosses.
- #Taxes are the mechanism for ensuring the #distribution of the #wealth created by our #social and #economic #systems to all of the #people participating in these systems and keeping them operating.
Your #opposition and outright attacks on unions and taxes demonstrate extreme ignorance and/or self-delusion.
Violence is never the answer until it becomes the only available option.
Like they say in the game, choose wisely.

RE: https://urbanists.social/@Streetsweeper/116341614455296369
Zoning laws do function like this -- they increase car dependence. But that's not all they do. Laws are tools, and tools only very rarely have just one capability. Tools created to solve one problem are often repurposed to solve many others. For instance, hammers were invented hundreds of thousands of years before nails, but now driving nails is a common use of hammers.
Laws are different from hammers in at least one important sense. Almost everyone who has a problem that a hammer can solve has access to hammers and the ability to use them. Laws, on the other hand, can only be created and can only be used by a very small group of people -- the ruling class. [1]
So as in this article, the ruling class uses zoning to increase car dependence because they make money from it in a variety of ways -- car sales, gasoline sales, oil, etc. But car dependence serves other purposes -- it makes people easier to track, to control, etc
And increasing car dependence is not the only ruling class solution provided by zoning. Zoning laws prevent people from running businesses out of their homes, increasing the likelihood that they'll have to work for wages -- without wage laborers capitalism would collapse. Zoning laws also prevent tenants from sharing rentals to the full extent possible, so more rental units get rented. Without a steady supply of tenants the landlord business -- quintessential capitalism -- would collapse.
Zoning laws also allow local governments to take houses away from their putative owners -- can't afford to fix your fences, keep your lawn mowed, keep your house painted, etc, and the city will fine you until you comply. Can't afford to pay? They'll take your house. Eventually it gets sold to someone else and both the city and your mortgage holder make money.
I'm sure that many of these uses weren't foreseeable when modern zoning was invented, but as I said, tools are continually repurposed to solve new problems. Since effectively only the ruling class is able to create laws and to use them effectively they get repurposed for their benefit.
Attributing purposes to tools rather than to those who wield them is a common fallacy, and it leads to serious analytic errors. When people say that the purpose e.g. of police is to protect people and that we just need to get them back to this original use -- in other words advocating for reform -- they're falling into this trap. Look at the capabilities of police, remember that those capabilities can be directed in many ways and only the ruling class is able to decide how the police are used, and it becomes clear that reform is a pipe dream.

[1] Sometimes people who aren't in the ruling class manage to use laws to their advantage, but these are edge cases. Not only that, but the very possibility of non-rulers using laws serves as one of capitalism's many safety valves. When it does happen it relieves pressure from below and capitalism lives another day. Such cases are also examples of the ruling class using the laws

‘Death of the traditional tax return’ as biggest shake-up in 30 years hits South Wales
From April 6, a radical new regime known as Making Tax Digital (MTD) will become mandatory for anyone with a gross income above £50,000 per year, marking the end of an era for paper-based filing.
Experts have described the overhaul as the most significant change to the UK tax system since the introduction of self-assessment nearly 30 years ago in 1997.
Regional accountancy firm Azets, which has offices in Swansea and Cardiff, is urging local business owners to act now to avoid falling foul of the new HMRC rules.
Under the new system, qualifying individuals will no longer be able to submit a single annual return; instead, they must keep digital records and provide updates to the taxman every single quarter.
Fraser Campbell, UK Head of ABAS at Azets, who is warning South Wales businesses to prepare for the “death of the traditional tax return.”Fraser Campbell, UK Head of ABAS at Azets, has confirmed that the shift represents a major digital reporting obligation for hundreds of thousands of landlords and sole traders.
“MTD truly signifies the death of the traditional income tax return,” Mr Campbell has said, adding that the April deadline is now “fast approaching.”
The changes are set to affect an estimated 864,000 individuals nationwide from next month, with that number predicted to soar to nearly three million within just three years.
While the initial phase targets those earning over £50,000, the threshold is set to drop to £30,000 in April 2027 and further still to £20,000 by 2028.
HMRC has said the move will bring the tax system closer to “real-time,” providing businesses with more accurate financial information throughout the year.
However, the transition requires the use of specific MTD-compatible software, and experts are warning that those who haven’t yet modernised their processes could face a scramble to comply.
“Preparation, planning ahead and taking advice at the right time are key for compliance,” Mr Campbell has stated, urging those in South Wales to check their qualifying income immediately.

@burgerbecky My guess is that if a landlord buys up all the houses in the area, it can A. rent them out at inflated prices or B. demolish the houses to make hotels. This is the kind of situation illustrated in Elizabeth Magie's Landlord's Game (later modified by Charles Darrow as Monopoly).

Do they think we are idiots? So the Cons put in a rent cap at 2% (temporarily) now have raised it to 5%, but the BIG issue is that landlords have a loophole big enough to drive a tandam 18 wheeler through -- "fixed term leases" mean the landlord cannot increase YOUR rent, but they can just refuse to rent to you again and charge a new tenant MUCH more... since no cap on "vacant" units.

@andrhia
There's only one thing worse than being evicted and that is being evicted and having to live in a multirise single-bedroom unit with very limited access to open, private, green spaces.Force #landlords to quarantine 30 weeks per year in the worst unit they own, as rated by a #citizensJury.
That'd fix it.
