    It wasn’t a great answer. It was incredibly banal and doesn’t take reality into consideration. This idiotic logic can be applied to anything. It doesn’t make any more sense just because you repeat it.

    We live in a capitalist country. We’re all slaves by this primitive thinking. You can shift the blame endlessly.

    A properly maintained rental that is fairly priced is not unfair to anyone.

      I know what the point you’re trying to make in response, it is an understandable one but I will respond to it later. Hopefully by the weekend.

      To make sure I get the point your trying to make is: not everyone can be a doctor, not everyone can be a teacher, not everyone can be a plumber, likewise not everyone can be a landlord. In every society only a certain percentage of people can be said thing. This is what you mean when you said “It … doesn’t take reality into consideration”.

        Not at all. The only point I’m trying to make is there’s a vast difference between companies that own a lot of properties for rent and individuals who own one. Like differences between banks and credit unions. One does bare minimum required to squeeze maximum amount of money from customers, another provides a fantastic service while still making a profit.

        The reality you’re disconnected from is the fact that we live in a capitalist society and not in a non-existent utopia where all resources are shared equally. By your logic family owned stores and restaurants are also enslaving people because we all need to eat. It makes no sense.
