Because being a landlord, even one creating affordable housing is probably the most evil thing you can do according to Lemmy.
I always get so frustrated at the lack of nuance. I loved being able to rent a house when I was in college. I had no desire to buy a house and renting was a great option. Also more affordable and better living conditions than on campus. Is it shitty when landlords suck and rent is too high? Yeah, but there are good landlords as well. Private equity and most property management companies are pure shit, though. Slumlords who own entire city blocks and don’t maintain their properties are shit.
Nope fuck you, no renting, not even dorms (renting from the college is still renting), you must drop $150,000 on a townhouse while spending whatever college tuition is right now. What you can’t afford it? Well fuck you for paying into the system perpetuating landlordism rentoid, should have lived in a tent on the street if you don’t want to be judged by some terminally online twits!
So landlords should provide their service for free then? Is that what you do?
Where is your apartment complex where you invite people to stay for nothing, and just pay utilities? Can you share your listing with me so I can move into your complex? Living expenses are ridiculous right now, I could use some relief.
No, landlords should not exist in my opinion. Public housing should be available with zero profit incentive.

Housing co-ops exist, dude. This isn’t some obscure, groundbreaking concept.
Also, housing co-ops aren’t solutions to short-term housing. Renting is a good solution for that. However, since renting is intrinsically morally reprehensible no matter what, what’s the solution to short-term or temporary housing solutions?
Why wish? Just do it. If you’re renting, owning or renting to others, you’re just perpetuating the system you’re criticizing and have no moral high ground.
But if you’re renting, you’re enriching an evil landlord or an evil property management group, so you’re contributing to the problem. There are more than enough hypocrites on here to unite and create a co-op, so why not just do that?

You’re just ignoring the nuance.
The nuance here is that you’re charging more than what the shelter costs. You are profiting from it. Literally nobody is making you do that.

I agree with you and I’m aware. So you live in a housing co-op then?
No, I wish.

This is very, “you criticize society, yet you participate in society. Curious.”
I don’t rent to anyone so I have nothing to worry about ethically. Me participating in a broken system by renting is not relevant at all.

You’re smart, I like you. Can we be friends lol
no, you’re just a land leech and glomming onto the first person who doesn’t see you for what you are
What’s your living situation like? How many people are you providing free shelter for?
You aren’t providing shit.
Can you provide the address to your housing solution so I can start saving money right away?
