John Oliver knows your rent is too damn high and wants to do something about it.
New rental housing is being built all the time, but the vast majority of that new housing is relatively expensive. Since 1990, the total number of U.S. rental units has risen by more than 13 million. The total number of very affordable rental units, however, has dropped by almost 4 million. One result of this bullshit is that landlords are now able to charge more money because there’s too little housing available.
Even people lucky enough to get Section 8 vouchers often have trouble finding housing because landlords who say they accept vouchers won’t actually rent to people with vouchers, whether it’s because the landlords discriminate against lower income people — this is technically illegal in many places — or don’t want to deal with government red tape.
