       @Radical_EgoCom really? My son and his wife can't afford to buy a place but they're very happy with their landlord. Many people choose to rent to give themselves the flexibility to move when they want to. "Fuck landlords" isn't helpful, it is lumping predatory landlords with those who are providing a necessary service in exchange for a reasonable return on investment.

       @geekbrit Regardless of how nice a landlord is (and I know there are landlords with nice personalities), the act of a small group of people owning housing and charging any amount of money for what should be a human right is the problem. The system of property ownership is the problem, and having nice people in positions of control in this system won't make it any better, just as having a nice king or queen didn't eliminate the oppression of feudalism, or how nice slaveowners didn't make slavery any better.
