3rd rent rise in as many years... I have come to dread the day in early July when I get the email. Sad thing is...this time around my first thought was "it could have been worse".

I know Jamelle Bouie is basically Bluesky royalty, but I don't know, I just cannot take him seriously when he says stuff like this while having "Columnist for the New York Times Opinion section." in his bio.
