Removing landlords won’t magically fix everything for you.

Funny that, because I bought a condo and removed landlords from my life and it did actually fix everything for me.

The problem isn't just the landlords, it's a regulatory and policy environment that has shifted since Reagan toward the well off at the expense of everyone else in just about every facet of life including housing. People are pissed at this point because it's completely unaffordable to live while some of you (I'm going to assume you're a landlord because of your tone) are hording tons of houses to profit off of.

All I'm saying is banning landlords is idiotic and won't solve the crisis. If you can't pay the rent, you won't be able to buy a property.

Not always. Sometimes it's cheaper to buy than rent. It was like that briefly in 2018-2020 where I live.

I'm not calling for banning landlords anyway, go ahead and have those pointless debates with people who have no power to do so up the thread a bit.
