“But we also think that the responsibility for the safety of [low-income people] — and let’s face it, it’s low-income people who have this problem — that’s a responsibility for society at large, for everyone, not just for the people who happen to own the buildings where these people make their homes.”

    America is not the only place in the world. In places without mass corporate landlords, private landlords happily fill that void and are absolutely still the problem.

    Show me a landlord that genuinely finds efficiencies that arent just ‘hire a cheaper contractor than they would hire for their own home’.
