Got a lot of angry landlords in these comments. Oops.

You got a lot of people pointing out that your generalizations aren't entirely accurate. The problem isn't landlords, it's foreign nations coming in and buying up land for the purposes of exporting the labor and production of that nations economy by leeching off of rent.

The problem isn't landlords; they serve a purpose. It's corporations acting as landlords that's the issue. Corporations acting as landlords are allowing foreign nations to export our resources through ownership of property.

Then go buy a house.

Oh, you're gonna lambast me for telling you to do that because you're a renter?

That's exactly what you opine. You don't want landlords. Thus you want everyone to buy their property and not rent it, right?

So go ahead and do what you espouse, and buy your property. Then when you want to move, sell the property to someone else before buying the next property.

Yeah lot of bootlickers here. Being a landlord means exploiting people's basic human need for shelter to pad your pockets and taking houses off the market to increase demand.

Fuck that guy up there acting likes hes doing his tenants a favor renting at market rate while he builds 3 houses worth of equity. Parasites every one
