You can do the same justifications for landlords that you did for tutors and doctors though.
Kind of, maybe, if a high percentage of landlords was in it to “provide housing”…which I didn’t see any evidence of in my decade and a half of renting.
I’m also a bit of a weirdo too. So, I had a lot more opportunity to see any of that. I probably moved over 10 times in my ~15 years renting because I couldn’t stand the yearly rent increases they were trying to force on me and was stupid/stubborn enough (and well off enough) to vote with my feet.
I have moved a similar number of times for similar reasons. That didn’t make me hate all landlords. Just like having a bad experience with a couple doctors hasn’t made me hate all doctors.
I think the issue here is seeing millions of people as a single group or class, instead of what they are… individuals. Each of those individuals has their own motivations, actions, and reasons behind what they do. Some of those people are dick heads, and some of them are great. Most are somewhere in the middle.
