It would be nice to say no, but broadly speaking living in the core means the family is the only thing capable of reproducing a social structure different than the wage labor for continued existence and treats regime I live under.

So without an alternative form and assuming this “becoming a landlord” hypothetical is just a sudden influx of real property I’d say yeah, I’d do it.

To talk in clearer terms, if a bunch of houses plopped down in my backyard tomorrow I wouldn’t spend more than a day thinking about it before advertising them as rentals at cost privately to the dozens of people I know who either can’t find housing or are struggling under the housing costs they have.

Things aren’t as bad as they could be here, but they’re bad enough that I would feel pressured not to wait and figure it out first.
