Comment Wouldn't want to be their office engineers (Score 3, Interesting) 40

I was at Qwest long ago when a strike was threatened a couple of times and my former outside tech colleague was scaring me with how the company would force us to do their strikers' work, when I was not trained for it and not even sure I could physically do some of it- slinging big heavy ladders around and climbing poles with a belt and spikes (THAT'S a highly risky skill you don't pick up overnight). "PAY THEM!"

Your rent should be 30% of your income- with no cap. To paraphrase Comic Book Guy, "this will result in many paying much less, while some will pay much more" (which subsidizes those who pay less). And if you don't have an income- it's 30% of your yearly profit from capital gains etc. Besides, if you're THAT rich, you've bough a house outright anyway..
