You mean all the stuff they can easily outsource and still make a profit? You make it sound like landlords are doing us a favor.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nope, i make it sounds like you're someone that's never think beyond their own perspective.

Edit: to add, it's survivor bias to think that all home owner on earth are earning huge money from the property and can afford to outsource the work and still make profit.

"Anyone who disagrees with me is living in a bubble!"

Childish actuations make you sound like a child.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 3 points 2 years ago

Ohh you're not? Because your point doesn't seems like you're anywhere outside the bubble of your own. Maybe try a better argument perhaps? Or you can keep whining idk i don't really care.

[-] Flumsy@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Then do it and become a landlord if its that easy.

"if you can't fix the problem, just become part of it!" Great advice mate ๐Ÿ˜‚

[-] Flumsy@feddit.de -1 points 2 years ago

How dare they provide so much value to you that you feel the need to give them a good amount of your money.

What part is the "problem" exactly?

[-] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Exactly, as a person of land myself this crowd doesn't appreciate the amount of effort I put into making the houses I own livable for you profit streams. There are costs associated, which means I'm the one truly being exploited here, not the people paying me to live in my extra home.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

Why don't I just become a billionaire too while I'm at it? Oh right, because I can't just opt into having the money to be part of the ownership class.

[-] Flumsy@feddit.de -1 points 2 years ago

Exactly and where did the money come from? They earned it until they had enough to invest in a house.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago

Right, because rich people "earned" their money. Good one.

[-] Flumsy@feddit.de -3 points 2 years ago

Yes, actually. Where do you think their money came from? (Alternatively their relatives may have earned it, that shouldnt make a difference for you though).

[-] norbert@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

that shouldn't make a difference for you though

How convenient, next you'll be telling me to just take out a small loan of $1m from my parents.

[-] Flumsy@feddit.de -3 points 2 years ago

Im saying it doesnt make a difference to you if they got it from their relatives or not, the point is: somebody earned it (or usually they earned it themselves.

[-] norbert@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Them inheriting it is what took that house off the market.

I'm aware large corporate landlords are more of an issue with housing supply, but the slumlord that owns 30 rentals and doesn't reside in the area is a problem too.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago

Exploitation of the working class, mostly.
