More states should allow withholding rent.
Housing, healthcare, education, and other universal necessities shouldn’t be for-profit.
They can be for profit.
But limited, a landlord has 1-2 apartments, not 50, and corporations are right out, as are foreign owners.
Housing needs to be about housing, healthcare needs to focus on healthcare.
I care less about the number of units the landord has(within reason) than where they live. If a guy wants to rent a dozen units a few blocks from his own house, fine. But some asshole 5 states away renting a house he’s never going to lay eyes on? Fuck off.
Some of the worst landlords in my city are locals who rent out 1-2 houses to students.
The least bad landlord AFAICT is a local corporation that mostly rents out commercial space but has a few residential rentals too.
Ultimately nothing should be for profit.
Agreed, though I would also be down for more tightly regulated and graded housing similar to our restaurants in the short term.
isn’t that headline tautological?
