Again, non-US western nations have figured this out by providing tenant rights (rent control included in this).

Slumlords can and should be legislated out of existence.

Where do you think this inflation comes from? If not from uncontrolled rental price increases?

San Francisco has tenant rights (rent control included in this). What rights do you think San Francisco tenants are missing?

Inflation in the cost of food has many sources, among them, the cost of the food ingredients, and increase in minimum wage paid to employees to make said food are the two other large ones to factor into the cost of food.
