If you’re privileged enough to be able to afford a home right now, I’m genuinely happy for you, but I am not.

I would prefer to only be tied down to a place for one year at a max and not be in debt for longer than I’ve been alive to live in a place I might not end up even wanting to stay in.

Home ownership is for some, but not for me.

ACAB, but what’s wrong with landlords? I do not want to own a home at this stage in my life and neither does my wife.

They provide a service that I want, cops (for the most part), not so much…

Don't worry, it's going to get way way worse over the next couple decades!

Rent on average has increased 320% over 10 years. Home ownership costs 14%. But sure its just some dumb young socialist kids on reddit

I agree completely, I recently read “Evicted” by Matthew Desmond and the system, especially evictions, is awful.

That said, I don’t understand the “landlording is bad” crowd. Without landlords I can’t rent, and I like renting…

Many landlords follow the market into scalper prices, and don't maintain the properties they own to a level they themselves would want to live in. I dunno if being a landlord in general is unethical, but THAT certainly is.

Nobody likes either group.

I sometimes forget that the Holocaust was less than a hundred years ago…

It says she passed away in January at the end of the article :(

I was pretty uplifted till I read that part ngl

How are cops comparable to landlords lol

I do not want to own a home and my wife and I would prefer renting over home ownership for a number of reasons.

Yes, society needs people contributing from all sides, but only capitalism lets non-contributors own the contributions of others.

Farmers don’t provide anything of value except a human right (food) that is commodified.

I guess I have to go into debt for 30 years, permanently choose my living space, and be on the hook for major repairs on top of being in debt all while still beginning my family because… renting bad lol

I don't understand what this means. You don't like the way I explained it? You think it's bad that I said fuck on the internet? You think the phrase murder playtime is bad?

Help me understand as I am legitimately confused

It doesn’t dampen the effect of El Niño, it’s the opposite phase of the El Niño/Southern oscillation climate system. Both phases can have bad and good impacts on different parts of the world. This year Utah (where I live) is having a close to record snow, that is probably due in part to La Niña. This is good for us. Interestingly El Niño can do the same thing for us here as well.

If I've learned anything in my 44 trips around the sun it's that everything related to climate and weather is bad.

As someone that lives in south Florida… we’ve dodged a lot of hurricanes these past couple years. I’m perfectly with dodging some more.

I don’t think you people realize how terrible it is to not have air conditioning in the summer in south Florida. It’s so hot and humid. The air is literally wet

You see rentoids? This is what happens when you tip your landchad 200%. Us Landchads are truly benevolent beings, just stock your fridge, pay the tip and we are good to go. Landchad rights are Human Rights! And us PoL (People of Land) appreciate when we are finally understood for who we really are.

Only reason this story exists is as propaganda to counter all the anti landlord stories that exist.

“We aren’t all evil fucks trying to raise rent to make people homeless!”

What’s the difference between this and the pro cop hero stories that get posted immediately after one about them committing a crime against a citizen?

According to Socialists on Reddit yes. According to most people in the real world no.

That someone is working on closing gitmo
