The world looks like a horrible place, barely hanging on by a thread, until you step outside and see that society and the people in it are generally pretty chill.

Of course, that said, I don’t live in the states. Everything could be literally on fire there for all I know.

Another thing that pisses me off is that I’m literally paying >100% of the cost of the property over time, yet they retain full ownership. It’s an investment with essentially zero risk, if you have a tenant that isn’t a racoon.

Not sure I have a good solution for that issue, honestly, but the idea of it irks me.

My overall position boils down to: Housing should never generate profit. A landlord can take pay for the work they do, and put money aside for maintenance, but there should never be a profit made on rent.

Agreed. I may be principled to a fault, but I’ll never go back to Reddit. It has that corporate miasma to it now.

Truth be told, it had the miasma long before the API changes, but that was the point where the boiled frog croaked for me.
