The Two Bums
The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined
And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that's bad
Will greet the other with a willing smile and extend a hand so glad

“…property investors received $12.3bn in tax concessions in 2025, while the share of social housing dropped to a record low.”
West Coast Self-Storage, LCC. notified me of a new #rent increase this morning.
Rent for a 7.5x10 unit started at $72.00 in September, 2024. Then jumped by 83% to $132.00 on 1 March, 2025 after 5 months of occupancy. Now it's increasing to $191.00 per month starting on 1 March, 2026. It's an almost 70% over last year, and a 165% total increase since the start of my tenancy in September 2024.
Their current advertised rates for the same unit as I rent is between US$99.00 and US$124.00 depending where the unit is located within the facility. The units furthest from the facility entrance, like mine which on the third floor, are the $99.00 dollar units.
I've filed complaints with the Washington State Attorney General and the #BetterBusinessBureau.
I don't suspect anything will come of the complaints, but I'm furious. I live hundreds of miles away. I cannot simply move my belongings to another facility.
