It’s discriminatory and unconstitutional. I think a class action suit would stand up in court.
Quite simply--it is not discrimination. Renters are not a protected class. You may not like it--so vote in Congressmen who agree with you and they can change the laws.
Are food stamps discrimination against rich people? Is unemployment insurance discriminatory against working folks?

Unfortunatly you are in the minority on the voting. When I was in apartments, most people in my building didn’t care about voting more about the next party.
You want to see a voting turn out? Put a proposition out to end Prop 13.
That could be said about anyone under 25 years old... (I'm assuming that's when you last rented)... That's not a renter stigma.. That's a age-stigma.
Once people get married and settle down.. (be them renters or homeowners). Voting and politics become more important..

cristina69 is a bot. Hope that doesn't cross Patrick's "Be Polite" rule.

For never-ending programs to 'job less home owners'... how about 'job less renters' ?I am sure some class-action-lawyer can find the logic on 'discriminating based on type of dwelling' .
