No one can hoard the ability to raise one’s children to the point that people don’t have children. People and corps have hoarded housing to the point that empty homes out number the homeless at a rate of 35:1
The reference to providing for one’s children was in relation to to comment about inheritance. Bitching that someone has it easy because they inherited wealth is saying you don’t think people should be able to inherit wealth which is saying parents shouldn’t be able to leave money and look after their own children.
And I don’t disagree that empty houses are a problem - they should be taxed to the moon. And a lot of cities have started doin that now. Maybe that will relieve some pressure on the housing / renting market, which is good.
Fair enough. Then put a cap on the amount of properties that can be inherited by a single individual. Anything in excess of 1 should go to a public pool of properties for renters to buy.
Yeah… Let’s conveniently forget all about inheritance.
Not to mention access to opportunity. Yes it’s more complicated. But shouldn’t people be allowed to support their children?
False equivalency.
How so?
