That is what's mostly contributing to the homeless problem. You have these cities like NYC and Los Angeles that have strict zoning codes on what can be built because of the NIMBY people. Then landlords are required to install this, install that, give tenant's "rights," etc. Then there's Section 8 which give tenants a green light to destroy the property. And finally, there's rent control which forces landlords to rent to tenants at a loss.
So landlords don't keep up their properties or don't go in the business altogether.
The result? The lack of affordable housing that the very same liberals scream about but not realizing it's their policies that are creating it.

“walk-up apartment”Unless there were fire-doors, the building was one big chimney - once she caught.
The fire commissioner said so today.
