Rent gouging :( - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

That's the way freedom and a free market works.

People sell their service/product for what people will pay for it (unless you're in a union where you get paid twice what a free market would pay, thus twice what you're worth), the market will tell them when they are charging too much.

So, when joe schmoe go to his boss saying "I want a raise or I walk to the competition" is he price gouging?

So, a guy helping defend the country's freedom should have to live in substandard housing?

It's not all bases that have bad housing, but this base was built 50 years ago and these houses are original to them. The forces housing has also been sold to a private firm and they seem to takes less care of them though
