She and her husband literally restored an entire street that had been derelict since the Louisiana oil crash by using her husband's pension and disability after having destroyed his body working on the rigs. Literally abandoned homes that they fixed, made livable and rented, without credit check or any other bullshit, for affordable prices. Our street was the only safe street in the entire neighborhood, and also the only one where the homes were in good condition. Nobody wanted this homes. Nobody had the means or desire to fix them. Stop trying to manufacturer villains around the narrative you're being fed. People can't afford homes because of funds and companies specifically designed to hoard shit. That's why prices are skyrocketing.
Agreed. The average landlord is playing the long game for themselves but isn't much of a target and can't do much about the market as a whole, it's usually about a lack of collective pushback across the board that allows things like rents or food prices to spike or shift above CPI and inflation ranges, I won't pretend to know what I'm talking about because there's obviously a lot of factors involved that myself and many others all have yet to figure out, but I don't think landlords are the only people we should be mad at, that's just biting your friend or caretaker rather than looking for a systemic answer that provides collective benefit
You're overlooking the fact of why these homes were available and left in disrepair.
I mentioned it before. There was a major economic collapse. Louisiana had an oil boom followed be a collapse. Families bought homes they could comfortably afford, then one day they had no job and no prospect for a job. Nobody did. Entire communities moved out or collapsed.
NOPE SHE'S A PIECE OF SHIT LANDLORD SCUM
