  • I’m going to say something that might make you throw up in your mouth a little bit…

    I think you’re not supposed to care that you cannot maintain the code. That’s the ai’s job now.

    You are now a manager. You write the specs and complain when things don’t work right.

    It’s a different job entirely.

    Rent is theft

    Jump

  • If I own a house that is too big for me, and I can’t afford the taxes and upkeep, so I rent out some rooms to make a little money.

    I am now a landlord. Are you suggesting that I am evil? That it should not be allowed?

    I think you are conflating slum lords and greedy corporations with any and all people who have rental properties. Something, something… deals in absolutes.

  • Yes it is. But you and I both said it. It is abuse of capitalism.

    I would support some idea that corporations cannot own property like single homes solely for the purpose of profit. And any single person should be heavily taxed on rental income, at least beyond a certain point.

    And let’s use eminent domain to take back those empty houses and put people in them.

    But there’s still lots of people who would prefer to rent than own.

    The problem is not landlords. And the problem is not capitalism. The problem is unfettered greed. Greed is not good, despite what Michael Douglas said in that movie.

  • The world is not black and white. I don’t accept the validity of your claim.

  • I merely pointed out that not all ‘rent is bad’, ‘landlords are evil’.

    Among probably many reasons that housing is unaffordable for many is that some persons or corporations are awful scumbags that want to maximize their profit beyond what is reasonable or fair.

    Renting isn’t bad. Capitalism isn’t bad. Abuse of these things is bad.

  • Should hotels be illegal too? That’s basically renting out a room by the day. What if you cannot afford to buy a house, or only want to live somewhere temporarily? If you cannot rent any place to live, what would you do?

    As with most things, it is a matter of degree.
