    You are so incredibly dense. You said it yourself. The renter gets nothing. You get equity. The renter is who pays for your equity. You are lucky they don’t burn the damn thing down on the way out.

    I didn’t say you’d get rich off of it. I am saying that the relationship is fundamentally and systemically imbalanced, in a way that still, even in the worst case scenario, favors the landlord. It is an unjustified and pointless hierarchy, that is fundamentally misanthropic.

    And yes, writ large it favors the bankers over the landlords, but that is simply because the banks are landlords for money. Another unjustified hierarchy.

    They are both fundamentally evil, it is just a matter of scale.

        Why do we need a middleman to take care of that shit? All you did was shuffle numbers around and you had the audacity to demand your cut. I can call my own damn plummer.

        And don’t give us shit about how “the mortgage is $3900 a month” cause it’d be a hell of a lot cheaper without you leeches buying up all the land and houses, just to leave them empty because you’d rather deny someone housing than charge them something reasonable.

            You’re not me from the future. Because I would never be a landlord, as I have integrity. I definitely would not complain about how hard it is to be a landlord.

            You decided to be a part of the problem. You still treat home ownership as an investment rather than what it actually is: a fucking roof over someone’s head.
