Effective January 1st, the rent for my 60m2 two-bedroom flat is now $140 😢

For 3 years, the free private city of Morazan, refrained from increasing its $120 rent 🏡

In this week's Morazan Monday I'll explain how it was able to do so and what caused this $20 change! 💹

2) Small Government 🏛️

Another thing that pushes up rent are regulations and other red tape that make it expensive to build 🚧

Fortunately and Morazan lacks zoning laws and other regulations that make it hard and expensive to build! 👷 pic.twitter.com/X72qQ1fTDu

Despite all its advantages, Morazan could only outrun inflation for so long ⏲️

Especially with the Honduran government's minimum wage increases, worsening labor laws, and currency devaluations 😂

But don't worry more affordable housing in the works!😎 pic.twitter.com/Wg9GMjxgDz
