    Funny how if you remove all landlords no one loses their home.

      People who can no longer afford their mortgages would disagree with you.

      Edit: I’ve absolutely no fucking idea why you all think I mean landlords here. You do realise normal people have mortgages right? And if you don’t pay them, the bank take your house and make you homeless?

        Landlording isn’t a real job. It provides no value to society.

        Landlords can change that by simply changing businesses.

        People who can no longer afford their mortgages because they suddenly can’t leech of off working people can go fuck themselves.

          Luckily all these rugged individual landlords already know exactly where their boot straps are! Right??

            Is he hiring? Is he willing to pay a reasonable living wage?

            If not he should STFU.

        Ban landlord culture and property prices drop.

        Kinda sucks for those already with a mortgage. Defending rental culture because someone might lose out now only guarantees that an ever increasing majority lose out in the future.

          It’s not just landlords pushing it up.

          The constrained supply, the low interest rates, the greedy banks pushing bigger and bigger mortgages, government “help to buy” schemes which appear to be a way to help people buy homes, but in effect just pushes the price ever higher…

          The centralisation of jobs in certain areas. We have the internet. This could have practically solved the property crisis on it’s own, along with overloaded transport systems and pollution, but rich people were losing too much money, so back to the office, plebs.

          Yeah it would suck to have my house drop in value while I still owe the bank so much money, but anyone who isn’t willing to suck it up for the obvious greater good is an asshole.

        I and many working people like me can’t afford a mortgage EVER because all of the market is bought up for renting, so they would become just like me, except I’d have a real fucking job

        So? Then they shouldn’t have gotten real estate to begin with if they can’t afford a house. A person who relies on renting property to make a living are leaches living off the working class.

        what mortgages? shelter must be a right. people shouldn’t be allowed to own other people’s homes. everyone should be provided with housing by paying taxes or being covered by social aid systems.

        “Concerns” like this is why the housing situation will never be fixed. Guess what? Fixing the housing crisis will always means stopping it from being a profitable investment.
