    Could just do a rent to own type deal. Otherwise if you want to participate within capitalism and accrue passive income to fund a communist underground, become a landlord with maoist characteristics, basically charge 33% of income. Might only work if you have a whole complex, buuut you’d be more ethical than 90% of current landlords, so long as you actually do maintenance and prevention, WITHOUT having to be prompted. Imo anyway. Not anywhere close to doing any of this.

      We been working for a decade trying to push that here where I live. They just keep demolishing slums that we’re at least affordable and building apartment complexes with x% “affordable” units that are no bigger than the flats they replace and cost 3-4x what they replace even though the lot not has like 1000% more sq footage because single story old motels are being replaced with these god awfully ugly 5 story buildings. Density is cool and all but it just feels like a subsidized realty scam.

      Anyway cool-zone
