I just saw this post about landlords being parasitic. While I agree in some points - mainly that by owning more property than you need for yourself, you’re driving up the price for others who want to buy a property. However, I don’t want to buy property when I move. I don’t have the funds for it, and I’m happy with a rented flat. Sure I want to get my own property at some point, however I’m also sure I want to move at least two more times in my life. Buying and selling each time sounds like a lot of hassle. Also, I live in a shared flat, that just sounds like a legal nightmare if the ownership changed every time someone moved out. How does this fit together? Are there solutions to this that don’t require landlords to exist?
It’s already explained. More builders, more homes, more choices.
You forgot the most important thing for you, “more boots to lick.”
Not my kink but we don’t kink shame.
Bootlicker- noun someone who seeks favor or goodwill in a servile, degraded way; toady: He comes across as a facile bootlicker, someone who would do anything like a lapdog to please somebody in the chain of command.
Can you give us an example of a country where this is happening?
More builders. More homes being given the “contractor special” no renter asked for to justify raising the price. I added a Ring doorbell and Nest thermostats so it’s a SMART home now, please up!
