Landlords are parasites on society.
You can't afford to buy. If not for landlords who would you rent from? Where would you live?
The idea that if there were no landlords you'd be able to afford a house is absurd.
I agree corporations should be limited in how many single.family homes they are allowed to buy but this whole "all landlords are scum ". Schtick makes u look pathetic and ignorant of the facts.
Please tell us more about how the types of people who decide to jack rent up to absurd levels when given the slightest push back are actually a good thing for society.
I never said this. This is the definition of a strawman.
I'm surprised you're getting downvoted so heavily here, they're literally arguing a point you didn't make.
Lotta justified anti-landlord sentiment is overflowing the barriers of nuance and creating a flood of "everything should be free in a perfect society" quasi-marxism.
