"I won't vote for someone who isn't speaking about X" is an idealized moral high ground when the alternative is not only X getting worse, but even more X happening.

The existence of Landlords raises the cost of housing, and then they justify their existence by saying housing is too expensive for people to afford. It's tautological.
Meanwhile the people paying rent clearly can afford it, because the can afford all the expenses of the house + the extra fees involved for someone being a landlord + the landlord's profit.
Lnadlords increase competition for the property making it more expensive.
Someone putting an offer on a property might be just fine getting a mortgage for that amount, but not for the amount needed if 5 different landlords are trying to outbid them so they can rent the property to them.
I also think the arguments people like you made for people to vote for Harris were really really bad and that you are enabling the Democrats to continue down a terrible path of failure.
The argument I made for people to vote for Harris was that this is exactly what will happen if Trump wins, and 3 months before an election is not the time to try to get a viable alternative. Harris sucked, her campaign was shit, but the alternative is running the predictable course.
Now is an excellent time to work on a viable alternative, but saying "both are the same" is disingenuous, and is not actually putting an alternative forward.
This was your exact statement.
Incorrect. My exact statement was:
they’re undergoing renovations (source)
The only thing your source says is “Some are seasonal homes, some are undergoing renovations, and others are simply being held as investments.” it does not provide a number or a link. 2 houses undergoing renovations counts as “some”.
(emphasis added)
A single sentence on both sides of what you quoted provide all the context you need. If you pay any attention to the context it's clear I was referencing renovations, especially when you consider that the paragraph before I responded to the point about vacation homes, and the paragraph after I responded to the point of them being held for investments. Anyone bothering to read what I was saying instead of skimming for things to argue against would have recognized I was splitting up the specific points using clear quotes and paragraphs to differentiate which specific point I was addressing at the time.
But you’re not worth any courtesy or effort. Like what the fuck is your problem? This was meant to be a lighthearted discussion, why are you acting like you got log jammed up your ass? Like holy shit do you sound like an absolutely insufferable douche. But you know what, you’re absolutely right, this conversation is not worth continuing. You’re not worth my time, so piss off asshole.
Every accusation is a confession. I said you're not paying attention to what I'm saying, you responded with swears, cursing and personal insults. Like what the fuck is your problem?
Then you start to get rent payments from your tenants (usually). It covers your mortgage payments, your insurance and legal fees and property taxes and maintenance costs mostly
Your tenants are paying more in order to cover the costs of you being a middle man here, yes. Nowhere in that list did you say anything a landlord provides, they just insert themselves in the middle, raise the cost, and pretend that doesn't make them a parasite.
But at least you housed three families for your effort.
No, you didn't. You denied housing for three families and the equity they would have recieved if you didn't exist.
Things like universal healthcare have actually been found to be productive my most countries
And things like government provided housing has also been found to be productive.
You know, in case your a fucking ghoul a need proof of productivity before saving someone's fucking life.
The pricing is based on the market
Market value is based off of demand. People purchasing extra homes to profit off of increases that demand and therefore increases the cost.
But most people are stuggling now, even if they can afford to be in a house, so how can they afford to also pay your rent? Why is it fair to ask them to?
Tax billionaires.
At what point did I say Democrats were fucking great? They are absolute shit and people need to stand up for something better.
You also need to live in fucking reality a realize that stopping things from getting a lot fucking worse is worthwhile while you work on trying to get something better.
Also, Republican's are the Nazi's here. You refused to vote against Hitler.
