I feel the polls are poorly worded. My visceral reaction to the first question was , no the people are of the correct quantity it is the job numbers which would be wrong, so I felt the poll would be happy influenced by this implication that there can be the wrong number of people to fulfil economic requirements . Although this was a simple poll to try and support the article it left me with an immediate bad impression of academically poor data research and that you support that in economics we may need to adjust the number of people to meet some requirement.

The agent terminates the lease saying the house is being put on the market, but actually pushes up the rent excessively for the next lease. The renter goes out to find a more affordable rental.

This is a manipulated market, the real estate agents are organised, renters are isolated and disempowered.

Pushing renters out at the end of a lease allows the rent to be increased excessively, also causes increased apparent demand.
