I just know it was 1977.  We had just moved to CA (Yorba Linda) from South Carolina and I was 9.
We went to a couple games that year and then I was hooked and begged my parents to go everyday in 1978.
We moved to Encinitas in 1979 but my Mom would drive us the 64 miles each way to the Big A at least 20 times a year.

It is pretty silly to say the people negotiating are not reasonable people.  That’s just your displeasure with the fact that it is not yet resolved.

We are never going to hear about an Adell trade that people will be happy with.  Either the pitcher “isn’t good enough” or he is good enough but still gets rejected because “not enough years of control.”
 

Yawn.

I assume if the Angels and Ray didn’t meet that was Ray’s choice. 

Everyone should be really upset with Sacramento over everything.
I am surprised they are not requiring the plans for a new ballpark to include a quick cultural appropriations sensitivity training before you order a burrito or slice of pizza and a designated needle exchange area.

I have no idea what your landlord has experienced but it is very possible that Covid did cause your rent to go up.
If the landlord has multiple properties and has tenants refusing to pay (very common now because it is almost impossible to evict non-payers during Covid regardless of their actual ability to pay) . . . 
 
Then the landlord has to get as much rent as possible from paying renters to cover their expenses and minimize their losses.
So blame the freeloaders and the government for protecting them.  You just got stuck with the bill.
 

So it is confirmed that Correa bangs trash cans.

I challenge your usage of “gouged.”
You don’t think his expenses went up?  And why should rent NOT go up when everything else gets more and more expensive?
Do you have any idea what it costs to own and manage rental properties?
 

Rent is higher in nicer areas than worse areas.  What exactly is your point?

How many people are legitimately concerned that some of the housing located at that site be “affordable”?
I personally could not care less how much the new homes there cost because they are ADDED housing units.  It is not like they are displacing low income people and replacing affordable housing with mansions.
So who cares?

To me, the “character” part of the analysis was intended to recognize the additional value of high character (things like being inspirational and being a leader, etc) as a possible plus.
So a guy with 2400 hits (instead of the lock of 3000 hits) could be a Hall of Famer because they were ADDITIONALLY such a leader and inspirational to their team.
I don’t think it was supposed to be a reason to exclude someone who indisputably was one of the greatest players of all time performance wise.
I still see the HOF as a museum with a purpose to identify and display the greatest players of all time.
I have absolutely zero interest in considering how any individual player personally feels about being inducted.
”Excluding” a certain player to punish them personally (starve them personally of the satisfaction) only assures that the goal of identifying and displaying the greatest player of all time is contaminated.
Just because a player happens to feel personally awarded or personally deprived doesn’t mean that should be a consideration.
It is their HOF, not mine, so they can do whatever they want.  But it appears they want their choices to be respected by baseball fans.  I would personally respect the Hall more if they were disciplined enough to NOT use induction or lack of induction as a reward or punishment to individual players personally.
Just tell the truth on the plaque, whatever that truth is.

The landlord is not practicing socialism.  The government is forcing it and there are freeloaders loving the system where they don’t pay their fair rent.
The landlord is surviving a socialist element to their business.  That’s not practicing socialism.
And if the increase of $150 isn’t worth it or is out of bounds based on the market, you wouldn’t pay it.
To be honest, I have one rental property.  I like the tenants.  I have them a “below market” original rent because they assured me they were just a quiet, calm settled couple that just wanted a quiet place to relax and they would really take care of the place.
The second they moved in the parties started.  It’s like a college party scene multiple nights a week.  They have college kids and all their kids and friends party there non-stop.
The rent is AT LEAST $500 below market for the area.  I am only legally allowed to raise the rent a tiny bit each year.  Even with the increases, we will never catch up to the market.
So basically every month I am subsidizing this tenant at least $500.  Yet I am sure they don’t like the modest increase in rent every year that still results in them getting a bargain.
They lied about what kind of tenants I should expect and now have a permanent subsidy.  The beer pong party house goes on, and yet I am the “gouging” landlord raising their rent every year.
