But they are seen as more productive because they are on farmers’ hours

You assume that they are all overcharging wildly and that all maintenance is trivial. Mortgages are an actual thing, go buy some property and find out. People rent out property to make a profit, not out of love. Also, living in a home or apt you pay for isn’t a “privilege” anymore than the food I buy is.

unbelievably derivative and completely incompetent

You had me thinking you wanted to make an intelligent point until you broke out the shitpost. You got me!

I will say corporate landlords need to kept on short leashes

One major issue is we assume the motivations of others all the time, usually negative. Add anonymity to the mix and you have social media rage. A good place to start is to occasionally think “Maybe I’m not 100% right. Maybe they are at least partially right also.” Also, “What could be their reasons for thinking that?” without dismissing them out of hand. The press encourages rage by presenting us with a filter of negativity and constantly pressing our anger buttons.

True psychopaths exist but not to the extent people may think.

Pessimism is easy and lazy thinking. People also think it makes you look more insightful and wiser to look down your nose at everything.

Get off the internet and talk to some actual people

It is great when a user make it easy for you to make that decision

They were cutting pizza on a concrete block?

World News and News were the worst. There would always be one accepted reaction to every post and anyone veering from it was downvoted into the basement at best.

So that is ok but if you post to an “unapproved” subreddit (even if you are leaving a criticism of them) you get banned from subreddits by bots. Then you accidently post to one of them from a 2nd account and your account gets perma banned. Yay! “Reddit, a place for open discussion for only people we approve of subject to arbitrary rules.”

banned ME for report abuse

Wouldn’t be surprised if the poster was a mod.

Reddit was great for things like “Can you recommend some Italian restaurants in the area?” Then you’d get downvoted for recommending some Italian restaurants in the area.

Maybe you should buy the property then you won’t have to deal with renting.

Yup, people here are generally young and have only had experience being on the tenant side of the equation. Someday they may find out what it is like being on the other side and that tenants can be pigs.

Friend tried renting some property in FL. It was a miserable experience with tenants who constantly trashed the places, having to hound them for rent while she had to pay the mortgage on time, etc. She eventually sold it and said “Never again.”

Gimme gimme gimme!

So how do you handle it when there are more people than space available? How do you cover the cost of maintenance? What would prevent someone from taking your house without ownership rights?

I cleaned the nasty ass yellow chain-smoker patina from the previous tenant off of my walls that were actually white.

This happened to me once. They sent a guy to check my place out, he said “Looks good, you’ll get your security deposit back.” Then months went by. Well unfortunately for them my BIL is a real estate lawyer and he was happy to draw up a packet of documents I could take to small claims court. I had to serve them about 3 times, each time the cost of serving them got tacked on. They didn’t show so I won by default so now the real work begang, collecting. They FINALLY paid it but I said, “You need to add the cost of serving you to it.” so they drew up a new check. Yup, a pain in the ass.

Because maintenance costs and mortgages don’t exist.
