    it’s not just big landlords. I’ve rented from small landlords most of my life and they’re just as shitty. It’s just a big list of bad incentives. people are landlords because it is passive income for which they do not have to work. This attracts parasites whether they’re buying one extra house or a hundred houses. They want to retire and they’re absolutely going to make it societies problem. Landlords profits are literally “created” by charging as much as possible from tenants, while paying as little as possible in maintenance. it causes neighborhoods to decay and makes it impossible for tenants to advance their own life goals. but hey, landlords get more vacations, so i guess that makes up for it right? Fuck your second house. if you loved it you’d be living there. So sell it to a family who needs it, and stop squatting on the deed like an incontinent golden retriever.
