not everyone that has more than 1 house is a rich person. most of the time its people who had a generational house that wanted to move to another, while trying to pay off taxes or new houses by renting. its the airbnb, and corporate landlords that are the problem. Also rich nimby neighborhoods, a few years ago they blocked a low income housing in millbrae.

Have you considered that you are the problem?

I have a friend with five. He’s a traveling physician and has five practices each at least a hundred miles away from each other. I don’t entirely see him as part of the housing problem because he has a use for these houses that isn’t vacation.
Folk are mostly friends on here, so can you ease off the attack please?

Why? Unless you’ve got hundreds of millions or more, you’re just another poor sobbing bastard for the elite. Just a bit less poor than the others. Insignificant in everything.
Also, I paid double market-average for employees, with come-and-go-as-you-please and profit-sharing. Everyone.
I rent the houses/apts dirt-cheap. At the legally allowed minimum but with hidden added boni or paybacks or whatever else I come up with. Free power, free water etc. I don’t want to profit of someone else’s inability to own. I want to be able to look in the mirror without disgust.
And also I work for free in a shelter-thingie for abused or broken people, I help where I can.
If everyone would do that, we’d all be better off, wouldn’t we be?
What do you do to better society with the given means? Considering I’m the problem and you’re not? Egocentrism, narcissism, missing empathy and machiavellism (so basically the dark triad) are the root sources that rot the world (while being highly rewarded), not money.
