Why are landlords given free rein to cripple the economy by pricing workers out of important major cities ?

Landlords are not the little guy lol :mjlol: y’all’s business model relies on the exploitation of the actual “little guy”, the tenants who don’t have agency or ability to move.

Unlike other small business owners, landlords do not provide any particular benefit to a community. Clutching pearls lmao

Landlords are the definition of petit bourgeoisie
:manny:Ok. I hear ya.

Well go buy property in an area where you can afford to do so
That's literally how these landlords yall complain about built their portfolios
Stop complaining because people don't want to give you their assets for free
a while ago I posted a link in here with hella property under $100k in Baltimore, go help lift up a black community and provide rehabbed affordable housing if yall actually care about this issue and just not mad you got priced out of the bougie cac zip codes yall wanna be in so bad
25 years from now dudes will WISH they could buy houses in some of these areas for the prices they're at now. But dudes rather sit around and feel sorry for themselves.

The funniest thing is coli posters acting like cacs, thinking people who are critical of landlords are broke or jobless.

:mjlol:

But more to the topic. I knew black people in Brooklyn who had million dollar properties who treated the properties and tenants like shyt. People who are doing severe slumlord shyt with Air BnB. Who have been reported over and over again for safety violations.

It's not a case of feeding a family. That's bullshyt. They're just trying to squeeze as much profit as they can out of vulnerable populations. They know they have the pick of the litter. Selfish shytty mentality that humans have and can't wait to be part of the class that has the power do they can exert it on others.
Back in the day we'd call them slumlords..

The fact that anybody with a second home who rents it out, is now considered a slumlord at worst and a bad person at best, is really retarded

This refusal to see the world beyond your own self-interest is what's gonna fukk EVERYBODY over down the road.
How much further down the road we got cause for 200 some odd years capitalism has worked in this country.. When has it not been about every man for himself? That's America's motto pretty much. That's what capitalism is.

I find what's really crazy is people never once mentioning the companies buying all this shyt up to the sound of billions, but got time to kill a landlord making 100k

If the house already paid off, only charge 10% or less of a persons monthly income on housing, like it was prior to the late 90s.

If anything, you have a crab in a barrel mentality where you overcharge for a basic place to live and make the tenants unable to save money to have a down payment for a house
And how have you decided that that price is going to make it so the homeowner can cover all his costs, have money for repairs and accidents and insurance, have money to make it worth it to even do this, and make this couple have affordable housing in 2023 with the economy how it is and interest rates what they are and inflation what it is?

You haven't.. you just made up a number that's good for YOU and put it on the landlord to match it... Sounds exactly like what you accusing the landlord of doing.

And what if the house ain't paid off? Then what?

All this would be solved with a simple "Businesses can't buy family homes" but nope... Lets murder landlords

No they don't want to do that cause that's not good for THEM, living in the hood

What they want is for you to rent your house at a loss or break even or make an extra 5 grand a year, so it's not good for YOU

Landlords can only really continue to exist in the way they do because government would rather be getting its back blown out by private industry than to regulate private industry and invest tax money it should be getting from the rich into services that benefit everyone.

Subsidized housing should be abundant and easily accessible, but that's bad for business so they fall back if developers press them. Housing is a right, not an investment. Other countries have this figured out, but greed is in control in America so people who don't have money are at the mercy of those who do and that includes elected officials who own multiple homes and have more money than they could ever spend in 2 or 3 lifetimes.


The whole thing is rotten and the only way it's going to change is if they are FORCED to change. You can't expect elected officials who financially benefit from the status quo to change it unless an existential threat to them is around the corner. I'm not advocating for violence, but if enough angry white people start doing acts of domestic terrorism targeting the wealthy and greedy politicians then they'll be forced to change things. They used to be able to use race to convince them to accept this, but more and more Caucasians have black friends and family members and are learning the real history instead of bullshyt propaganda. If enough of them refuse to accept the racial smoke screen and keep that energy then you'll get a Roosevelt like president who will be willing to go against his own financial interests to break up the companies that buy housing, tax investment dividends, inheritances, and other ways the wealthy try to get around paying tax.

The average landlord is just a regular person with 1 or 2 rental properties. Trying go paint them as these evil money hungry capitalist doesn't make any sense. There's a huge difference between them and the Landlord Landlords that are actually giant investment firms/ hedge funds with hundreds of millions/ billions that they can use to skew the housing market.
"1 or 2 rental properties."

That means they own homes that people could be living in that they don't :dead:

Actually they do... That's why they rental properties cause someone is living in them... That's the other part of this.. How y'all think it's too high but people living in them? If it was too high, nobody would be living there cause.................... it's too high

That's not any situation I ever been in and I've rented all my life. Seems to be y'all want all the luxury but none of the work to find a good owner, find a good price, move a little drive away from where you want to be exactly, get your own money up while saving and living bad, in order to get your own place..

Sounds like jealousy babble. Cause I am 150% sure that NONE of you nikkas gonna be renting out your parents homes when given to you, at some low ass rate, knowing you missing out on 20-30k a year

This why I don't take most these dudes seriously. Nikkas love to call everyone MAGA and be militant when it's convenient . Threads like this expose the real them. They adapt the bootstraps mentality quick when it comes to their fellow man expressing a personal struggle with finances. Sounding like the same exact CACs they say they against :mjlol:
