    so you’re saying, we need landlords leaching off working people, to force them to work harder?

    What a shitty opinion. why don’t you send me half your income so you are forced to work harder.

      Landlords don’t just take in rent as profit. They have expenses for maintenance, property taxes, insurance, etc. if you could buy a house presumably you would so as to avoid having to pay for a landlord to get his cut. But renters usually can’t buy, so the landlord fronts the money for the house and takes on various risks. There is, of course, a change for them doin that. That’s the only way renters can get housing, unless governments just give people stuff for free.

        can’t buy houses, because landlords jack up prices. artificially raising the demand so houses are unaffordable.

        you created a crisis, them profit from it, then praint yourself as the hero of the story. delusional parasite.
