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?

Encourage your friends to commit to leaving if they have the means to do so. Within your friends’ lifetimes, the USA will never get better than it is right now (and overall it’s unprecedentedly bad right now).

To OP’s question: I don’t really consider your Aunt’s ownership of a few houses to be a practical problem. She was told her whole life that investing in real estate is a smart thing to do and provides financial security.

The problem is with lack of regulations, such as how many buildings someone is allowed to own, corporate ownership, rent prices…things like that.

My friends don’t need encouragement and are grown adults. I don’t tell other people how to live.

Even if they don’t end up coming back, having a bit of passive income from renting out their house will help the with the move.
