    Hey I’m not really worried, my landlord is actually really cool. The place I live in is actually better than the place he lives in. My rent is well well below market rate for what I should be paying. I lived in the same place for the past 11 years and he’s only raised my rent twice for less than $200 total. Not all landlords are bad, not all of them are in it just to get rich. And not all of us would be able to buy a house regardless of paying rent or not. And I’d much rather pay rent to somebody for a nice place to live then be living in a tent by the river.

      Damn, you’re right. It’s like how I’m not worried about wealth inequality because I lucked out and have a steady 60k a year job with a nice employer. Not all employers are bad.

      Or how I don’t give a shit about abortion because I made the stone-cold choice to not be a woman.

      When things aren’t affecting me they don’t matter so why are people making a big deal about it?

        Think the point being it’s nuanced, there are valid rental scenarios. So when someone sees renting shouldn’t be a thing at all, they can be understandable put off, exactly the same way you are put off by someone saying they actually have a good renting scenario.

        Renting should be an option, but housing stock shouldn’t be slurped up by big firm either. There needs to be reasonable path to ownership as well as choices to rent. Depending on the area, the balance is of off one way or the other.

        Going from a safe place to live, to a steady income, to abortion. Dude you’re an idiot. Fuck off out of this conversation. What are you, 13? Get real dumbass.
