Evicted from Reality: Seattle's Regulations Push Out Small Landlords

Seattle's small landlords are throwing in the towel and waving the white flag, and who could blame them? Strangled by regulations that could only be conjured up in the fevered minds of bureaucrats, these property owners are selling their rentals to high-earning tech professionals instead of keeping them in the rental pool. You know, the good ol' salt-of-the-earth mom and pop landlords who once offered affordable housing options. As these landlords exit stage left, who fills the void? Not a new crop of rental moguls, I assure you, but rather well-to-do owner-occupiers who can drop a couple hundred thousand on a down payment without blinking. But hey, if you think bidding adieu to your landlords is going to make your life more affordable, think again. That's a great strategy—if your game plan is to see your rent skyrocket by 25%. You can't have your cake and eat it too; just ask the people who thought defunding the police would make their neighborhoods safer. Socialism, it seems, works best for those who don't work at all.

The evidence isn't just anecdotal; it's a budding trend. The situation has gotten so bad, even certified appraisers are advising against buying rental properties in Seattle. It's not just Seattle's problem, though. Tech cities across America are grappling with astronomical rents thanks to regulations that favor tenants and make evictions costly and cumbersome. Want to know the future of rental housing in Seattle? Look no further than San Francisco, where the construction of new apartment units has ground to a halt. When the supply of rentals shrinks and demand remains strong, even a kindergarten-level grasp of economics tells you what happens next. Just like the tenant who can't quite grasp why he's being evicted for not paying rent, Seattle's housing market is about to get a harsh lesson in reality.
