If income has raised by 20%, why should you expect rent to also increase by the same amount?


Because it's a market operating point set by supply and demand. Increasing incomes support demand and raise prices.


If "support demand" means people want better homes, then that's fine.

If people are spending more real money to get the same housing, something has gone wrong.


The landlords costs hake also gone up 20%


Operating, not capital. Real estate is a capital heavy area.


Why do increasing incomes support demand? I am not going to move to another place exactly the same just because I make more money. In order for prices to increase, I would have to be moving into a better place than I am in now, which means it would cost more anyway. Me moving laterally gives me no utility.


In the American rental market, for most lessees, the lessor can raise the price an arbitrary amount periodically. This is true for virtually all tenancies in this country.


Sounds like that isn't a market force if they do it without demand changing.


This sounds interesting. I tried something similar with Django. You have a write up on this?


It doesn't take much glue to make them work together. I paste a url into a textbox, flask runs yt-dlp in a subprocess, file saves to an area already defined to be a Plex library for youtube videos. I make playlists or ersatztv schedules as needed in the respective UIs.
