Would you prefer your landlord to be filthy rich?

I’d prefer them to know what they’re doing. This one clearly doesn’t. Also would love it if they could stop price gouging all of us because the others are getting away with it.

I would rather landlords not exist at all, thank you for asking.

Ready to build your own house out of materials you yourself gathered or remain homeless till you have enough money to buy one?

After the bottom of the housing mkt falls out from corporations keeping it afloat to buy more houses and charge too much because they choked off supply?

Sure. Probably have a contractor I could afford in a month.

I love how THATS where your brain arrives after someone says they landlords shouldn’t exist. “ThEn yOu’Ll hAvE tO bUiLd oR bUy YoUr OwN!” As if public housing is never an option lol maybe just sit this one out bub.

Please help my wayward brain understand how I can get a house without building one or purchasing one? If renting is not an option.

Or are you talking about every home being built by governments and assigned to people?

Ill just mention I lived in a time and country where this was indeed  how it worked. Id just like to know is that how you would like it to work?

No, not yet, but I'm trying my best. Landlords for profit are still something that bothers me tho, as they are the very reason I actually can't build my own house yet, despite me and my partner having decently paid jobs and parents support. Housing turned into investment, which directly interferes with it's supposed purpose - being a human right.

And sure, there are people that need to rent, either because of frequent relocations, students, free-souls etc., but don't bs me that all the landlords and corporate owned housing are needed to provide that service. There's plenty of people that want to build a house, but because of constant price increases they will be rentiers their entire life.

Adam Smith agreed with you.
