Olgratin_Magmatoe , 10 months ago Like what? Anything not needed for human survival. There are infinite ways to make money with land that are more useless and exploitative to society than renting a house. This is just a whataboutism fallacy. What’s so morally reprehensible about someone working hard and being fiscally responsible to provide a service that people actually need Landlords do no more to provide housing than ticket scalpers do to provide concert tickets. Landlords don’t work hard. Owning is not a job that provides for society. Do you realize someone has to actually build/maintain/renovate houses? I sure am aware. And I’m always aware that the people who do those things aren’t landlords. They’re construction workers and maintenance workers. The primary reason most houses exist is because someone took a personal risk in the hopes of coming out ahead from where they were originally. The landlords take no such risk because the demand for housing is so high that any vacancies can be filled as quick as they like. They can only charge what the market will bear after all. Funny how “what the market can bare” equates to entire generations being priced out of owning a home.
