SEATTLE IS A VERY
EXPENSIVE PLACE TO LIVE.
THEY SAY IT IS ONE OF THE MOST
EXPENSIVE PLACES TO LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES, AND A CERTAIN
LANDLORD WHO DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR HIS FAMILY IN HIS
TOWNHOUSE WHERE HE LIVES IS MOVING ON, BUT HE IS RENTING HIS
APARTMENT.
HERE IS THE ACTUAL
LISTING ON WHATEVER ZILLOW OWNED SITE BUT IT IS ON.
$2200 A
MONTH, THREE BEDS, 2.5 BATHS, IT'S IN BOTHELL, WASHINGTON,
WHICH IS A NICE PLACE, AND IF YOU THINK $2200 A MONTH IS A
LITTLE TOO EXPENSIVE, YOU CAN PAY $2000 A MONTH BECAUSE HE IS
OFFERING A $200 A MONTH DISCOUNT IF YOU WILL BE VEGAN OR
VEGETARIAN.
IS HE A SUCKER OR A GOOD GUY?
I THINK HE IS A GOOD GUY.
I THINK HIS INTENTIONS ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT A VEGAN AND VEGETARIAN DIET IS
SUSTAINABLE, GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT FOR A NUMBER OF
REASONS.
I AM NOT A VEGAN OR A VEGETARIAN, BUT I THINK
THERE ARE BENEFITS TO ADOPTING THAT LIFESTYLE, AND MORE
POWER TO HIM.
ALSO, HE'S THE LANDLORD.
IF THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE HE WANTS TO LIVE IN HIS PLACE, HE
HAS THE RIGHT TO DO THAT.
I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT.
I FEEL LIKE FOX NEWS WOULD CRITICIZE HIM, BUT HE IS
THE ONE MAKING THE MONEY.
HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS.
FREE MARKET!
NOW, BRETT, I'M GOING TO FLIP THE QUESTION FOR YOU.
IF YOU ARE HIS TENANT, EVERYBODY IS STRUGGLING, WOULD YOU
TELL THEM YOU ARE A VEGETARIAN EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT?
I WOULD PAY $200 A MONTH TO JUST EAT MEAT IN FRONT OF HIM.
JUST TO MESS WITH HIM.
THERE'S SOME CHANCE HE WON'T RENT TO YOU.
HE'S PUSHING HIS AGENDA.
HE SAYS, "I REALLY BELIEVE, JUST
LIKE THE NO SMOKING POLICY THAT ALL LANDLORDS HAVE TODAY, THAT
WE CAN PROMOTE THIS AS A WAY TO SPREAD AWARENESS.
SEE IF I CAN
CREATE A TREND."
I FEEL LIKE IT'S A PROGRESSIVE AREA, AND
THERE IS PROBABLY A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE VEGAN AND
VEGETARIAN ANYWAY, SO THAT'S WHAT HE IS GRAVITATING TOWARDS,
BUT I DEFINITELY SEE A SADISTIC PERSON WHO WAS LIKE, I'M GOING
TO PUNISH YOU.
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU I DO EAT MEAT, I HAVE
GREAT CREDIT REFERENCES, AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU EVERY WEEK
WITH MY CHECK, ATE MEAT THIS MONTH, $2200.
THAT'S A TERRIBLE THING THAT SOMEONE CAN DO.
HE'S NOT
PUSHING HIS AGENDA ON YOU, HE'S SAYING HERE IS SOMETHING FOR
SOMEONE WHO WANTS IT.
IT'S JUST A THING THAT EXISTS.
SO WHAT IF YOU ARE RIGHT.
SO WHAT GRACE.
I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE RIGHT.
THIS THE KIND OF DEBATE I LIKE.
I'M WITH BRETT THOUGH
WHAT!
I WOULD GO TO RENT HIS HOUSE WHILE EATING A GYRO AND
SPELLING IT ALL OVER THE FLOOR.
YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO TRY THIS?
HAVE YOU HAD A WEIRD LANDLORD BEFORE?
I HAVE HAD SOME WEIRD
ONES THAT SHOW UP AT MY DOOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT LIKE
SAYING, ARE YOU MAKING THAT NOISE?
AND THE ANSWER IS NO, I
WASN'T MAKING THAT NOISE, NOR DO
I HEAR A NOISE.
COULD YOU IMAGINE THOUGH?
YOU SIGN THE PLEDGE AND THAT DUDE IS LIKE, I SMELL
BACON, DO YOU HAVE BACON OF THEIR?
ARE YOU MAKING THAT SMELL?
THE WAY TO DO IT WOULD JUST BE LIKE, GET FABRICE BACON
AND JUST BE LIKE, BUT DO YOU!
JUST HAVE IT ON YOUR CLOTHING AT ALL TIMES, SO HE THINKS HE
HAS A TENANT WHO SMILED LIKE BACON BUT IS TOTALLY VEGETARIAN.
YOU CAN'T PROVE ANYTHING.
GOT YOU!
DATA YOU GET FOR BEING A GOOD GUY AND TRYING TO MAKE
POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE WORLD.
