Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties?

you say this as if most people would be like that. whereas most people don’t want to travel all the time

I do not, I say it because it has to be involved in any discussion of ethics. It isn’t a binary problem. There are shades of gray to everything, which people hate talking about.

I know many people that like renting because they want to move every few months or years. Their job affords it (which any reasonable nation also allows), they work remote, or they’re mobile, etc.

Acting like everything is black and white when it literally never is is making it impossible to have actually discussions that enact change.

Wouldn’t you like to travel the world and see the sights? Would you want to have to buy a house and sell your old one every single time you changed countries? I think not.
