If landlord A doesn't pass along any savings, landlord B would realize he can pass along say half the savings, advertise the property for less money, and therefore have better chances of selling his property. A very basic principal of supply and demand. Unless an illegal monopoly network was set in place by all the landlords getting together. But we have laws to combat this aternative.My point was, even with cheaper housing and products, if jobs become harder to find due to higher competition for these jobs from people accepting lower wages, the inevitable of less income and/or lost jobs will result. Its a catch-22 cycle that our economy has not solved yet, and there are no easy answers to.</blockquote>
