Fine then all guns AND all ammunition should be gone.

He never had to kill anyone. He chose to murder someone.

That’s a sick and disgusting attitude. Blocking you.

Both are awful. There’s too many guns in this country.

- 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? 1 week ago:
Yes it is.

No definitely not. You’re adding nothing to the conversation so I’m blocking you.

Being a landlord IS a real job. You’re not getting it. You seem to have some idea that all a landlord does is sit back and collect rent. This is not true.
There’s a lot of work involved in setting up and managing properties. Some months it’s less and some months it’s more. Being self employed isn’t a 40 hour a week punch a clock type of job. The more properties, the more work is involved.

There’s a housing shortage due to not having enough housing for the people who want it. Read the dozens and dozens of articles over the past decade about how the United States hasn’t been building enough housing to keep up with demand.
Families don’t live together like they used to. People are living longer. People don’t want to live with others.

Your response tells me you don’t know what’s involved in the job and don’t care to learn.

You are mistaken regarding the activities that landlords do. And the lower the income of the tenant, the more work the landlord has to do.
Paperwork and dealing with government bureaucracy is part of the job.
Landlord activities directly affect the “client” which is the same in any service industry.
Being self employed still means having a job. Some people only know what it’s like to be an employee. They don’t know the ins and outs of running your own business. Perhaps that’s why you don’t understand the job of being a rental property owner.

Builders build housing. Then they sell it. Rental property owners provide housing.

By parasites, you mean people who don’t pay their rent causing an increase in costs for others.
- 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? 1 week ago:
That’s not what rental property owners do. They provide housing, not take it away.
- 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? 1 week ago:
Providing rental housing is a service. It’s a job, like being a waiter or a flight attendant.

How long have you been a landlord to know exactly how many hours a landlord works in a month?
- 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? 1 week ago:
Not everything people pay for produces a tangible object. For example, people pay to hear someone play a song. People pay to hop in an Uber to get from point A to point B – they don’t own the car they ride in afterwards.
People pay for services and there’s nothing wrong with that.

No, landlords earn money by providing a service. Properties don’t maintain themselves.

By your logic, what happens when the roof needs to be replaced and it costs $15,000 to do that? The rent goes up by $15,000 that year? That’s ridiculous.
This is why rent is higher than a particular year’s costs – it includes capital costs over a period of time. $15,000 over 15 years is $1,000/year or about $84/mo. Add that to the cost of landscaping, utilities, turnover costs, plus a wage for the owner. Why is the wage $25/hour? Why not $100/hour? It’s a skilled job.

Rental property owners do not “make money off the backs” of anyone. It’s about trading money for a service.
- 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? 1 week ago:
This is incorrect.
- 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? 1 week ago:
You are incorrect. The service is providing someone a home if they don’t want to own their own or if they don’t have the financial means to do so
No landlords hoard property. The property is used by people.

No landlords are “parasites”. Rental property owners provide a valuable service.
- Comment on Related to the recent question: A family member has told me that my inheritance after they're gone is for becoming a live-with landlord. Is that ethical? 1 week ago:
There’s nothing wrong with being a landlord.
- Comment on If landlords didn’t exist anymore, how would shared flats work? 1 week ago:
You are correct that there’s nothing wrong with being a rental property owner.
- Comment on Has any country actually _solved_ the housing crisis? 1 week ago:
Not everyone wants to live in a trailer park.
Smaller housing would need to be subsidized because it costs a lot to build relative to what it could be sold for.
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
Lots of people have ideas, few people actually want to implement ideas. This is why there’s more workers than business owners.
- Comment on Has any country actually _solved_ the housing crisis? 1 week ago:
Look at places in the U.S. who have built a lot more housing – rents and housing prices have gone down.
- Relax/change zoning requirements
- Give subsidies to developers for affordable housing

That’s interesting, yours lasted way longer than the people I’ve talked to. I wonder if the procedure was any different.
