You can't afford to buy. If not for landlords who would you rent from? Where would you live?
The idea that if there were no landlords you'd be able to afford a house is absurd.
I agree corporations should be limited in how many single.family homes they are allowed to buy but this whole "all landlords are scum ". Schtick makes u look pathetic and ignorant of the facts.
Found the landlord. If not for tenants, who would you and your estate agent squeeze for every possible cent, cutting every possible cost along the way so you can more horde wealth, buy more homes and get fat at other people's expense.
Nobody that wasn't bleeding renters would try and look reasonable by saying "corporations shouldn't be able to own too many houses".
The people complaining are not the ones who should be ashamed.
Yep, the house I got lucky on and am saving for my kid to move into in a year makes me scum of the earth.
Correct๐
Lol. What a shit take. What is my kid supposed to do for a house? Pay market price in a year? How does that solve the supply issue again???
I love how you guys are just reactionary and don't ever think any steps ahead about what the result of your propositions would be...just landlord bad. Free house good.
I'm a huge supporter of social welfare programs and limiting the num of houses ppl can buy so if u think I'm the enemy, buddy you're fighting the wrong battle.
