Here's what the landlord lobby don't want you to know: If rents went down by 20%, renters would save £2400 a year. The government would save £2 billion a year. And landlords would still make 4.5 times as much profit as the average business.

@roadtotarvalon.bsky.social sorry to be the book cloak but I'm not convinced the Liadrin's baby arc is necessary , why she turned to evil before Tar Valon is described in the book also Hills of Tanchico seems to borrow from the song Falion was making the Panarch sing
