"SF home where landlord allegedly murdered his tenant rents for $6,300
Ajudge blocked the sale. but nothing stopped the faamily of an accused killer from trying to rent out the scene of the crime.
This Outer Sunset rental listing has it all, with a price tag to match: three bedrooms, natural light, a garage, and a backyard for $6,300 a month.
The only problem? The landlord allegedly shot and killed the previous tenant.Philippe Chagniot, a 68-year-old retired dentist, allegedly murdered Eric Bigone, 58, on May 17 in front of the home at 2518 46th Ave.
Prosecutors say Chagniot — who has been charged with murder — lit a fire atop Bigone’s car; when Bigone went to investigate, Chagniot shot him twice from behind with a suppressed MAC-10 submachine gun. Chagniot remains in custody.
The home remains owned by the Chagniot 2007 Family Trust, whose beneficiaries include Phillipe and his wife, Barbara Chagniot.
Bigone’s son Dino alleges in a wrongful death lawsuit that Chagniot killed his father to clear the home for sale. A San Francisco judge has barred the sale while the case plays out. Still, that hasn’t stopped the family from attempting to rent it out."

Story highlights the failure of elected leaders. Another of those "private #donations provide what #government cannot" stories, like a successful #GoFundMe campaign when #insurance denied coverage.
And poor Jeyne, this being her first room alone. What will happen to her when she #retires in not so many years? When your job is your #home, what future is there for the #elderly.

An old friend of mine -- it'll be fifty years next fall -- lives in an illegal rental in Oakland, California. It's illegal in the sense that it was never registered with the Oakland rental board. His original landlords sold the property to a flipper a few months ago and the new owners have been trying to get my friend to move out.
They started by offering him cash for keys a few months ago, but two different lawyers advised him not to take the deal because it came with onerous conditions (that I can't remember right now) so he didn't take it. Then they progressed to yelling at him and calling him names.
A couple weeks ago they escalated to smashing out his car windows and a few of the apartment windows. They also spraypainted the word "PEDO" on an exterior wall. The cops, doing their job by protecting the landlord, refused to do anything because there's putatively no proof that the landlord had it done. They also told him to remove his personal belongings from the bathroom and the kitchen because they were going to start demolition, they said.
Then last night they escalated again. At around 2 am he was working at the computer when someone smashed both the windows near his desk and sprayed pepper spray through the holes. They also smashed out all his car windows again, sprayed his front door with pepper spray, and painted "PEDO" on the side of his car. S again the cops, who were apparently personally sympathetic, still said they couldn't do anything. One of the cops advised him to file a civil suit pro se.
He's physically unharmed and is talking to lawyers and doesn't feel like giving in yet, but of course he's worried, especially given last year's murder of a tenant by a landlord who wanted the property vacant to increase the sale value. If you follow me chances are good that you already understand the intrinsic scumminess of landlords, and I do too, but it's still surprising and shocking to see the lengths they'll go to to collect money they are absolutely convinced is theirs by right.

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 […]

PetaPixel: Mayor Mamdani Says Landlords Can’t Secretly Use AI Images to Advertise Properties. “New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani is having a very busy week. Just a day after announcing a ‘click-to-cancel’ rule aimed at companies like Adobe, Mamdani is cracking down on ‘deceptive landlord practices,’ including using AI-generated and AI-edited images designed to make properties look more […]

https://www.davidslack.net/what-a-phoney/ - praises recent #solar-power-subsidising, but with qualifications
One of the commenters says: '...My stock response to the Tory taunts of Labour "free stuff" is who pays for the #coalition's corporate welfare to the #tobacco industry (excise rebates for heated tobacco products), the #oil refinery owners (Marsden #diesel storage expansion), critical minerals #mining (funding from the Regional #Infrastructure Fund), #farming (primary sector growth fund), #landlords (mortgage interest tax relief) etc?'
Apart from the solar good news, David Slack goes on to berate the #PM, no less.
'So much of what I have written about this mediocre PM of vaulting self-regard has had to end with: What a phoney.
'Up he goes this week to Whangārei to tell 300 people I don't have to work for a living I'm just really into being your mediocre PM. And he's brought with him all the stock Monty Burns lines about them high and mighty bureaucrats in the Capital.
' "I love getting in and out of Wellington as quickly as possible and getting out and about and meeting with people because from the front line you actually hear the opportunities and also the challenges that exist."
'and
' "We're not mandating it from Wellington. We believe in localism. We believe in devolution. You make your decisions. That's a conversation you and your community need to have."
'Yeah good one Old Mate Grabaseat. Why don't you tell us how you let Auckland decide about its fuel tax?
'He's the Faux Outsider making empty promises of Faux Devolution. .....'
Another commenter takes up the PM's "We're not mandating it from Wellington. We believe in localism. We believe in devolution."
'That explains the school lunch atrocity, then. And the forced local body amalgamations. And telling us we can't put our medication packets in the recycling even when our local council is perfectly happy with them. Phoney is too kind... '(#Feilding has special collection bins for medical blister packs.)

Congrats, #NewJersey! In six months or so you'll have the right to buy an appliance that your landlord should actually be providing already. Oh and your landlord might not even let you install it anyway.

Buuuuut challenges remain!
- Are the new large #plugin battery systems legal? How do manufacturers advertise them?
- We still have lots of #landlords trying to prevent tenants from using #pluginsolar with absurd arguments
- the price of mounting needs go go down and we need it to be certified

From @joannechocolat
Elizabeth J. Magie Phillips (1866-1948) was an American game designer, #inventor, feminist, and writer. She invented The Landlord's Game, the direct precursor to #Monopoly, although she was never credited for this during her lifetime.
. .. ...
Personal note: she said “the object of the game is not only to afford amusement to the players, but to illustrate to them how under the present or prevailing system of land tenure, the landlord has an advantage over other enterprises and also how the single tax would discourage land speculation.”
She was a proponent of #Georgism, a single tax movement widely popularized by charismatic politician Henry George through his first book, Progress and Poverty - an economic ideology that government should be funded by a tax on land rent (wealthy landlords) & not by taxes on labour.
He might have been on to something! 🧐 Can we have this now? Please? 🙏

CW: UKpol, housing
Well, OF COURSE the Labour homelessness minister evicted her tenants so she could raise the rents. The only surprise is that she has enough of a sense of shame to resign.
Ban MPs from being landlords.

“We will also go after the biggest drivers of cost for the #MiddleClass & work to bring them down.And…some would argue, one of the biggest is the cost of #housing. So here’s what we will do. We will cut the red tape that stops homes from being built & take on… #corporate #landlords who are hiking #rent prices &…work w/ #builders & #developers to #construct 3M new #homes & rentals for the middle class, because increasing the housing supply will help drive down the cost of housing”
