      It’s not an answer. The problem is bigger than one company deciding to try for higher rent. This is happening because of housing supply and society-wide wealth distribution.

      Yes please do- then the insurance money will build them brand new apartments and they’ll probably make a but on top of it if they use the right contractors. Then they could rent for even more as they are now new builds. Great plan. Much thought.

        That’s fine they aren’t making rent from it though. And then you do it again. Each time they lose that much more rent and their insurance rates go up that much more.

          What you’re missing is you won’t get to do it twice because you’ll be in prison, where you should be, for burning homes down.

          Sure and you go to jail for arson. Oh and your insurance won’t go up that much as you’d probably just build in a less insane area. Oh and insurance will also cover the lost rent too. Oh and you dont have any more maintenance costs for the duration of the rebuild so you are making more money. Oh and you will get a break on that year’s property taxes- so even more money. Either way you still have no place to call home. Well- except your cell. Fucking dumbass grow the fuck up and learn how the world works. You listening to a podcast and thinking you know something will never bring about your commutopia.

                Neither is communism genius. Capitalism is alive somewhat functional. Communism is dead in ever place its attempted to be implemented. Of course there’s other ways. Pick up a book.

                    Ok my bad. Literally every interaction I’ve had with this communist group has been them shitpostig,trolling,strawmanning, etc.

                    I shouldn’t have immediately jumped into that mode on you. I apologize. Also had a bad day- not an excuse. Apologies again.

                  Capitalism is alive somewhat functional.

                  If you seriously think having 2/3 of the working population living paycheck to paycheck, even people with desirable degrees and traditionally well-paying jobs, is “somewhat functional,” I don’t know what the fuck to tell you besides you’re really fucking wrong.
