Are you under the impression that various projectiles cannot penetrate into things and then explode?

Price ceilings lead to fires of section 8 housing when you can't raise rents, and sometimes leads to the owners of the building walking away, and local officials condemning the buildings.
Landlords will stop repairs, maintenance because the building is costing more than it's bringing in.
Landlords Using Fire to Illegally Evict; Lawsuit Filed to Protect Elderly, Disabled Tenants - LAFLA: Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles
SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 13, 2016 — After a fire damaged their apartment building in December, the 20 low-income residents of the 17-unit rent-controlled building at 1605 Ocean Front Walk — many of whom are elderly or disabled — were left outside in the cold in the middle of the night with...

They will hire former fire inspectors, firefighters, and so fore to help set fires to their building when the tenants are away.

The walls are clearly blown out on the more zoomed out pictures available so the explosion had to have happened inside the room and been a fair sized blast so while an explosive can penetrate you'd be talking firing a tank shell at it basically.
So, they should instead have been allowed to evict the elderly and disabled in the completely legal fashion?Price ceilings lead to fires of section 8 housing when you can't raise rents, and sometimes leads to the owners of the building walking away, and local officials condemning the buildings.

"If we don't give them what they want they'll hurt people" is negotiating with terrorists.
And that's how you end up with a housing shortage.
Also, it raises the rates for non-rent control apartments due to scarcity.

And you believed that?
Believe that? Why not? It's not like ISIS doesn't have a long history of people blowing themselves up. And if the US wanted to blow the place up they would have just sent a drone. But I guess Lavrov prefers your version.
Yes, let's tell terrorist leaders around the world they will never be punished as long as they have children around. Instead let's focus the blame where it actually lies; the person leading an extremely cruel terrorist organization who decided to blow up his own children.
Okay, but how's that different than just...evicting the old, poor, and disabled the legal way?
Like, you haven't addressed the whole "they did it to evict people who weren't paying *enough*, so we should've just let them evict those people to begin with" problem
Since he apparently blow it up early in the raid, yes i suppose so;

U.S. says Islamic State leader killed in Syria raid
The leader of the jihadist group Islamic State died in a U.S. special forces raid in northern Syria on Thursday when he detonated a bomb that killed him and family members, the U.S. administration said.

Nobody said anything about a vest
There are munitions that are designed to use kinetic energy to penetrate a hard target such as a building and then detonate an explosive charge. Javelin missiles (I think) do this.
Not that I’d disbelieve an ISIS commander would blow himself up, and frankly that’s the version of events I consider the most likely.
I mean, as the article notes, we're fresh off a "successful" drone strike that killed a random dude and his family. I'm shocked you're taking this 100% at face valueSince he apparently blow it up early in the raid, yes i suppose so;

If evidence contradicting this version comes out i am all ears. But assuming that Biden sent special forces to blow shit up and get the same result as a drone strike makes little sense, he would have just sent a drone. Additionally ISIS has a history of blowing themselves up. I am not discounting the possibility that some special forces accidentally killed civilians during the raid but the possibility an ISIS leader blows himself up, taking women and children with him, is just as credible.
The poor unless they have multiple children that they are taking care of, and aren't disabled, or old can move somewhere else.
Edit: Or outside of the city proper.
I mentioned increasing the housing supply, zoning reform, and multifamily apartments. But generally to deal with housing shortages in a city you build housing outside of it.
Be careful what you wish for. The pandemic hit Dublin worse than almost any European city precisely because nobody can actually afford to live in the city.
Covid-19 brings with it some good for certain European cities – but not Dublin
A capital that prioritises suburban shoppers, commuters and international tourists is now reaping the rewards of its anti-urban living policies
That being said I'm also not in favour of rent caps either. I would rather publicly owned housing. I think if you're going to insist on having a landlord system in place rent caps just make it unrealistic for individuals to be landlords, but a vulture fund that can buy up entire housing estates can still turn a massive profit so it is just going to move more towards a handful of corporations owning everybody's homes.
So, leave the places where the jobs are and/or require long commutes.
Good plan. Also, that's only a fraction of the people brought up.
EDIT: Look, I'm just skeptical when the solution to "rent-seeking parasites are setting fires to have an excuse to evict people" is "give the arson-happy rent-seeking parasites exactly what they want"
EDITedit: Look, I live in Montana, a state with zero regulations on how much you can increase rent. Rents were already getting untenable before the pandemic hit, what with investors moving in and demolishing affordable housing and trailer parks to make way for higher priced condos.
Then covid happened and Montana actually locked down for a bit and out of staters started swarming in, fleeing covid/the homeless/liberals/etc, and our landlords had the brilliant thought, "hey, why am I renting to a poorly paid Montanan when I can raise the rent $300/$400/$500 or more a month and get some Californian tech guy or Texas retiree?
Shockingly, this did not lead to more low-income housing being built, because why build those when condos and houses are being sold sight-unseen for $50k-$60k above asking price in cash? In a twist of events that will only be surprising to you, our homelessness situation is worse than ever, the job market situation is absolutely dire because who's gonna take a job that doesn't pay the rent and gas for commuting 60 miles a day, and there are zero plans for low income housing or "multi-family apartments" because our lovely free market governor signed a law saying that cities couldn't mandate those be built.
And what the hell's a "multi-family apartment" anyway? Just a regular apartment with people piled on top of each other like an overcrowded hamster enclosure?
