Instead of banning more than 4 students living in an apartment, the city should ban this guy from owning more than 4 apartments.

Apartment buildings are being flipped a lot in that particular neighborhood and investors are definitely looking for a profit at the expense of renters. I imagine they think they can raise rents to the sky on the promise of the coming Green Line. It's shameful. To say that renters in that neighborhood can afford "market rate" is crazy. I don't understand why the city isn't doing something to stop this kind of unfettered greed which is forcing long-time residents out of their homes.
