Responding these things to the post at hand is what makes no sense. It sure looks like either you’ve got an idea in the chamber waiting for a soapbox at best and shilling at worst. I kind of doubt the shill line, but everything you wrote is stereotypical Lemmy and landlords which is unusually asymmetric commentary for a post about how not to get evicted.
This tastes weird. I don’t disagree with you, but I feel like I’m in an advertisement and I don’t like it.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Yeah, I could really work on my delivery. I feel like it’s probably coming across that way because I’m mostly angry venting into the wild, rather than speaking to people, and I really need to work on that. I’m just so angry about all that I see, and I don’t expect people to actually listen to anything I say, that’s probably a byproduct of being a mum for the last, well, it’s been over 30 years now. So I feel like I’m probably doing more screaming into a pillow, than proper adult discourse. I just want to vent my anger, I just want someone to say, yeah, shits fucked up, back to me.
Just to clarify, It’s not that I think landlords, individually are evil, I just see how they’re being weaponised. I just read a few lines and it clicked some things together.
I’ve been consuming too much history stuff, lately. It’s making me really angry.
Totally reasonable like I said, just very punchy so it’s hard to tell if I just walked into something.
Edit: I will add, my hatred for landlording (which is of course Lemmy standard) has been tamped by the fact that my parents had a 900 sq ft house they rented to truckers in our hometown, and I’ve often considered buying a house to rent out in the college town where I live. There are lots of people who only want to live in a place for 1 to 4 years near me and buying a house makes no sense for them. What is so bad about giving a nice place to stay for short term and putting enough money in my pocket to take a vacation once a year? Idk, it doesn’t feel the same as slumlording a building of people who can’t afford anywhere else to go.
Absolutely, do that. You can’t control the forest when you only own one tree. It’s not the individuals fault that the laws, and regulations have become predatory. Be ok with voting against your own interests if making the system more fair becomes an option down the line, even if that will effect your hip pocket. That’s what needs to change, in more sectors than just housing, people need to be ok with voting against their own interests, if it means making the system more fair for underprivileged. Because those are the ladders that have been removed, and that is the way to put them back.
You make enough sense in the points you make.
