Most investors aren’t tied down by rent control. Only two states, California and Oregon, have statewide rent control laws, while three others – New York, New Jersey and Maryland – have laws allowing local governments to pass rent control ordinances, according to the National Multifamily Housing Council. And laws in some states like Arizona actually restrict local jurisdictions from limiting what landlords can charge tenants. In Tucson, Arizona, the mayor’s office said it has been deluged with calls from residents worried about rent hikes after a California developer recently bought an apartment complex that catered to older people and raised rents by more than 50%, forcing out many on fixed incomes. The rent on a one-bedroom apartment in the complex went from $579 to $880 a month, an increase legal under Arizona state law. Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema decried the increases during a recent Senate Banking Committee hearing, saying Arizona’s rapidly growing housing costs have been a “major concern” of hers for years.

Doug Klain, Eurasia expert at Washington think tank The Atlantic Council, has no time for the notion that the Russian leader’s motivations are even vaguely patriotic. “I don’t think we would say that Putin has motivations that have dramatically changed over the decades of his rule,” Klain said. “Putin is doing things that will preserve his power, extend his rule, make his rule more secure, and will enrich himself and the oligarchs that help him to maintain his power.”

Since the summer, a black bear known as Hank the Tank has made a 500-pound nuisance of himself in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., breaking into more than two dozen homes to rummage for food and leaving a trail of damage behind. So far, nobody has been able to deter Hank, said Peter Tira, a spokesman for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Department officials and the local police have tried to “haze” the bear with paintballs, bean bags, sirens and Tasers, but he is too drawn to humans and their food to stay away for long. “It’s easier to find leftover pizza than to go in the forest,” Mr. Tira said on Sunday.
