Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?

The only landlords I see that add any positive value to the world are those who run and maintain apartment complexes. If you own multiple single family homes to rent them out or hoarde parcels of land just to try and sell for a higher price: you’re a parasite.

Alternatively, those apartment complexes could be cooperatively owned, cutting out the landlord without any loss.

What about condos? Is there something that prevents converting all apartment buildings and having owner-occupants instead of tenants?
