And they're complaining about a "slight decrease" in profits. Sorry, but its not realistic to expect only profit increases. Especially when housing costs have jumped as well as everything else. Do they even realize that some people have to pay over 1k/mo just in car payment and insurance, nevermind rent...of course not...the people who are on the csuite aren't affected by their actions.
