housing or regular housing is a good thing. there are many institutions that have spoken about this. i think there have been some concerns that owners are holding properties off. no one can force anyone to have to rent their property if they do not choose to. i'm not sure that is even the case. but there are many factors involved. i think there are also property rights that have been brought out very clearly by many speakers. you cannot pass legislation, i do not think, that would demand that properties only be rented -- you know, you could forbid them from renting to students or something along those lines. that could be a dangerous path to go down. there are a lot of things in here -- i also agree with what supervisor wiener says with the five-year lease. it makes total sense. the other thing is it does not make sense to put restrictions on student housing because most cubans by definition are probably low income. -- most students by definition are probably low income. it is kind of counter- productive to grant incentives thr
