Choosing to use a basic human right as a form of income is scummy. All landlords are scum, whether they are rich or not.
People need a place to stay and not everyone has piles of cash for a down payment. Vote for the change you want, but in this system we need rentals.
Those rentals should be a social project not a profit driven one.
There’s more demand for rentals then there are government resources to provide social projects.
Then we should pay more taxes.
That’s why i said go vote.
What makes you think I don't? Greed wins every time.
Fuck taxes, the government needs to control all money and pay for all our needs. Anything left over can be split evenly among everyone.
Do you trust anyone to do that? How do you think we ended up with billionaires? By people being gracious? Too many people are too greedy for that to work.
It's survival.
Can I come to your house, eat all your food, empty your bank account, and have your things?
That makes no sense at all.
And becoming wealthy by withholding human rights from others isn't "survival".
