Yep, pretty much. They'll never issue a real fine.

Agreed. Corporations should not be allowed to own housing. It has zero benefits for the public and little to no drawbacks for the corporation.
Seriously. They act like it's 1924 not 2024, when ~$3,000 was the equivalent of ~$55,000 today.
Gentrification: the process whereby the character of a poor urban area is changed by wealthier people moving in, improving housing, and attracting new businesses, typically displacing current inhabitants in the process.
It literally is gentrification. And yes they are NIMBYs too. It's both. It's the same coin.
Pretty much. Gentrification in action. They're pricing out workers who work these jobs and then the rich people who move in pitch a fit about how there's long waits and "no service" and how "no one wants to work anymore." You all did this to yourselves. You chased away the workers. If you have a problem with the environment you created, perhaps you should stop doing that or go work these "great" jobs yourselves?
Good. Let's issue warrants for all current and former presidents too as they're all war criminals.
I hope they fine all of them trillions and jail the top level people. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with this BS. There's been rampant price gouging, fixing, and collusion going on in this country for a long time now across industries and it sure would be nice if someone would do something to stop it.
Right? There's people still spouting that "all of that money from the pandemic" is somehow still sustaining the lives of thousands and thousands of people 4 years later.
Yeah that is some odd phrasing on their part.
Seriously. I lived in NOVA briefly many years ago and it took me legit over an hour to go 5 miles on the interstate. Tolls do nothing to alleviate congestion and only punish people by making them pay more money for no reason other than to make the toll collectors profit.
That's correct. Hampton Roads is a major military area, particularly for the Navy and because of that when the water crossings were built, they wanted to use tunnels specifically because they didn't want the harbor to be blocked during a war. The original version of the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (HRBT), opened in the 1950s, so World War 2 was likely still pretty fresh in people's minds.
Various companies have been talking about this since Katrina practically which was almost 20 years ago and they haven't done anything yet. This is the equivalent of vaporware in gaming at this point.
