And you sound like you don’t understand the greater implications of how societies are structured. Enjoy being a troll. ✌🏻

Haha I know.

You can try to justify yourself all you want, but at the end of the day you’re just living paycheck to paycheck like a lot of us. The only difference is that it’s your tenant’s checks 😂😂

What I’m saying is that these people SHOULD be able to afford to own. How are you missing that I’m talking about systemic failure. Get over yourself. Your username is perfect btw. I wouldn’t expect any sort of actual awareness. Also, there isn’t a whole lot that is voluntary about poverty you bloated blowhard

Housing should be like plates a dinner, no one gets second’s until everyone has gotten their first plate. I don’t think small time landlords are the biggest problem in the world, obviously huge banks and hedge funds, companies like Zillow buying up huge amounts of properties and keeping a lot empty to drive prices up are the real problem. That being said, stealing $100 and stealing 10 million are both stealing. We know which one is worse. I’m not attacking you. I’m just pointing out that the system set in place (that you are benefiting from) is unethical.

So you own a house you don’t live in and rent one you don’t own. In a better world wouldn’t you just own the house you live in?

I worked construction for several years, you’re obviously missing the point that as an a real concept, you shouldn’t exist as a class. The homes you “bring to market” should be owned by the people living in them.

Societally, landlords provide a negative function and as a class impede home ownership for millions of people in the U.S. alone. It is generally passive income. I’m not saying that you don’t have to replace a sink or paint or maintain a roof. Yes, of course, these are all things that need to be done to keep a home livable. What I’m saying is that overall, the world would be much better off if we lived in a world where people could afford a 1200 mortgage instead of being told that they don’t qualify and are forced to rent for 2k. Landlords are so low in this broken system, but nonetheless they leech off of people the same way bankers at jp Morgan or BOA do, just less successfully. All landlords are parasites that take advantage of a system that exploits lower classes. Just like all cops participate in a racist judicial system. It doesn’t matter if you’re “one of the good ones.” You’re complicit. So your crocodile tears about putting up dry wall or caulking a tub don’t really inspire my sympathies.

Landlords contribute nothing
