Book The Rent Is Too Damn High

Download or read book The Rent Is Too Damn High written by Matthew Yglesias and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From prominent political thinker and widely followed Slate columnist, a polemic on high rents and housing costs—and how these costs are hollowing out communities, thwarting economic development, and rendering personal success and fulfillment increasingly difficult to achieve. Rent is an issue that affects nearly everyone. High rent is a problem for all of us, extending beyond personal financial strain. High rent drags on our country’s overall rate of economic growth, damages the environment, and promotes long commutes, traffic jams, misery, and smog. Yet instead of a serious focus on the issue, America’s cities feature niche conversations about the availability of “affordable housing” for poor people. Yglesias’s book changes the conversation for the first time, presenting newfound context for the issue and real-time, practical solutions for the problem.

When he finally emerges, he finds his water hole is nothing but a wallow of mud, and two-thirds of his crop has been wiped out. Now the two largest ranches in the area are ready to fight for water. Lindsay stopped the fighting once—can he do it a second time? Hugo Ames is the outlaw in “Outlaw’s Pursuit” with a $15,000 bounty on his head following four years of robberies. Riding in the mountains in a thick fog, Ames needs to find Truck Janvers, an old prospector who can give him refuge for the night. Just when he’s about to give up, he finds Janvers’ hut—but the old man is dying. As Ames tries his best to help, the door is flung open and a man throws a knife at the old prospector, finishing him off.

Book excerpt: With her “signature mix of glamour, wealth, and intrigue” (Booklist), this is New York Times bestselling author Judith Gould at her irresistible best—as unknown forces conspire against a woman summoned into the shadows of a deadly masquerade... Nikki and Ariadne are identical twins with only their beauty in common—separated at birth by the schemes of a tyrannical father, and reared continents apart. It was Nikki who came of age in the glittering shadow of the mad tycoon, and is heiress to his empire. As cold and sharp as a cut diamond, she’s accustomed to the good things in life. Raised in obscurity, Ariadne is generous, brilliant, naïve, and unaware of her bloodline. Until a persuasive team of strangers offers Ariadne an opportunity as intimidating as it is irresistible—the chance to reclaim her share of the family empire. Little does she realize but she’s about to be plunged into deadly game of deception orchestrated by a privileged few—and that she will find protection in the arms of a bodyguard who shows her a passion like no other. Here, in this new world of luxury and glamour, the kisses of a stranger can’t be trusted, and the truth that hides in the shadows may be her undoing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No man has the right to kill another man-but if society can't or won't do its job-then I will. The bastards I had assassinated deserved to die-or worse- and like Charlie Bronson's vigilante friend, Paul Kersey, I'm more than willing to see they get every damn thing they deserve! They sentenced their victims to death and I returned the favor! Death, without the possibility of parole, is my way of showing respect for the sanctity of life, and is the only proven cure for recidivism. Not a single son-of-a-bitch I've had assassinated has ever killed again. Not one! As the pain subsided, the main character of "Dante's Disciple," KO-KO recalled "The Oxbow Incident," a western novel of vigilante injustice he had discovered as a child. My money gives me the power to act as judge, jury, and executioner- but does it give me the right? And what if I make a mistake? What if I execute an innocent man?
