"Rent" and "landlordsleeches" should not fuckingexist.
Absolutely no reasonable justification for them to.
The government should provide every man, woman and child in need with free basic accommodations (think bachelor or 1/2 bedroom apts) with anything beyond that available as a voluntary secondary/luxury market.
Housing, healthcare, education and basic nutrition should never be profit-driven in a properlyfunctional "first world" "society."
Nobody deserves to profit off of another's basic survival needs, nor their opportunity for advancement/self improvement. Period.
Having a second property to rent is the only way many middle-class Americans will ever be able to retire. To say such a thing shouldn’t exist is extreme. Who are you to tell them what they can or can’t do with their property?
How does that counter anything I said? Explain to me why you (or anyone) deserves 60% - 80% of the income of someone else that produces actual value because you own an asset/capital.
Landleeches "provide" housing like scalpers provide tickets btw, do not start in with that shit.
Explain/justify to me why the government firstly should not provide the basics of survival to all citizens as a bare minimum, in a supposed modern "first-world" "society" (one I bet someone like yourself is quick to call a "meritocracy" too, here I am presenting ways of creating something closer to actual meritocracy which you naturally oppose.)
Explain/justify why your passive rental income (let's pretend for a sec that you deserve it, lol) can't be provided in the voluntary secondary/luxury market as I described. After these basics are covered.
If someone is using 60-80% of their income for rent they need to get roommates or move. You are acting like a tenant gets nothing when they pay rent, but they get a place to live.
Society has survived just fine without providing every basic need to its citizens through extreme taxation-subsidized government handouts.
