      To be fair, everyone doesnt want to own housing all rhe time (say you study somewhere for a year for example, you might want to rent. Or when you try out anew city) so some landlording is needed. We don’t need landlords having lots of homes though.

        Landlording should never be done for profit. Socialize the fuck out of it. My water, electricity and healthcare is socialized, why do parasites profit off my home?

      I’m down with anything. The point is that your rent is not high because Bob has two houses. It’s because the real estate speculators own five thousand.

          Bob is not the enemy, Bob is a lucky retiree.

          Berkshire Hathaway and their 500k rental properties, are the enemy.

            Both/neither of them are the enemy. The enemy is the system that allows anyone to profit off owning homes.
