Funny, this article (archive) about the rent prices dropping seems to have another take on the reason.

The historic surge in multifamily construction over the past few years is now pulling back, but a good supply of new units is still coming online at a time of much weaker demand.

So there is a glut of new rentals available due to historic levels of construction and...

“That 18- to 34-year-old group … I think it’s up to 32.5% of those now are living with family, and that’s the highest it’s been in a while,” said Grant Montgomery, CoStar’s national director of multifamily analytics. “I think it reflects high rental costs that have risen over the years, as well as the tougher job market for young folks just coming out of college.”

“That is where a lot of demand traditionally comes from, the core renter demand is from that sort of younger base,” he said.

Younger workers can't afford to move out of their parents home because they can't find a job they pays enough to do so, or any job at all in many cases.

Yeah, that makes more sense than Trump's criminal efforts to kick anyone brown or black out of the country.

Remember when we used to joke about how politicians should wear their sponsors proudly like a racecar driver? Remember when that was just satire?

What even is that message? Ousting a few thousand people out of homes, where many of those homes remain occupied anyway, somehow causes rents to go down?

That's not how any of this works.

Uline sends out a lot of big thick catalogs to businesses, and they're terrible about keeping an up to date mailing list. I get joy discarding them when they send them to vacant buildings (they're 3rd class mail), and more joy when the few I do deliver go straight to the trash by the customers I deliver them to.

At the Post Office we call them the Urines, because they piss everyone off.

Probably easier to make a list of companies that aren't GOP donors

Did anyone's landlord call them and say the rent payment can be lower now? Anyone??

This has Four Seasons Landscaping vibes

Uline? More like U-Lyin'

When i was working for a company that did a lot of shipping last year, i moved them away from uline and ended up saving them a bunch of money. I still got laid off because they "couldnt afford to keep me" (despite them being a multibillion dollar organization...) but least i got to tell uline to go fuck themselves.

I've never heard of ULINE in my life

I just started a new job in the packaging industry and I'm happy to say they are a competitor. I get to hate them for multiple reasons now. Nice.

Going to be an odd question but if I need 700 paper bags, 50 wooden boxes, and a giant roll of bubble wrap next weekend can somebody reccomend a place?

He giving out houses? Thought that was commulism

The source of all your discontents is that you're fighting for a limited set of resources, says a landlord that owns multiple properties.

I've been using it for a while to try to shop more ethically, realizing that there is no ethical consumption.

Genuinely what is the alternative to them? Like, is there another company that offers standardized shelving/totes/general logistics supplies that isn't also in bed with republicans (and maybe isn't as awful to their workers as uline)?

Is there a massive list or database of all the companies that are still funding this administration?

And don't ship with DHL unless you want to risk your shipment getting rerouted all over the place.

Damn it, I had actually managed to forget about Vance these last few weeks.

Feces. They have good stuff. There should be a list of substitutes if you want a boycott to work.
