once again, trying to shift the onus for a solution away from the 1% who caused and perpetuate the problem
yup. they are the one who profit from the housing crisis worldwide.
we would have to go through them to solve it anyway. might as well take out the guilliotines.
Exactly. Not sure how slum lord flats are the solution here, when investment firms are sitting on millions of empty homes.
they're a solution for building owners who can't find tenants to lease their office space to. they don't actually care about the peasants who can't find affordable homes
That's kind of the definition of a slum lord, though, isn't it?
instead of "tenants" i should have said "badly run businesses that nevertheless have tons of capital to blow on office space"
Ah. Sorry. I misunderstood 'tenants' in terms of the civiz who would rent the tiny flat, and not as the businesses who would rent the entire floor.
Who do you think owns those fucking buildings with office space?
The same investment firms. That's my point. They own too much, and need regulation.
