I don't understand what these slumlords have to do with a nice children's hospital. I hope the children at their hospital are treated better than the tenants in the buildings they own.
I have been one of their tenants since 2007, at a two-bedroom apartment in southeast Portland. They have more than DOUBLED the rent since I moved in, while making ZERO improvements on the building.
In fact, it is deteriorating, with appliances constantly breaking, mold in the walls that is never addressed, and ancient wall-to-wall rugs that are never replaced unless tenants move out.
Slumlords. They are slumlords. This is what they are. Charging what they can, making profit over people's need to be housed, housing us in actually dangerous and unhealthy conditions -- while running a children's hospital.
It's a strange world, and these hospital-running capitalists are strange people.
