@prettygood I'd be more of a supreme leader than a benevolent dictator, although that'll mostly consist of me doing absolutely nothing.

@prettygood and he think this is because of 'landlords' and because of extremely pro-tenant laws that make it very easy to lose lots of money on a bad tenant, so of course everyone is being vetted as if they were about to join the CIA

@prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer Holy shit. Why? Is it really that bad? I thought it was bad that I had to provide my SSN, employer information, pay-stubs and tax return documentation, and submit to a credit check just to apply for an apartment. Housing out be a human right, it should be accessible and affordable.

@prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer Idk how that applies. All I know is that housing should not be viewed as an investment item, it should be a widespread commodity, it should be easy to access and afford. It's the baseline by which wealth can be generated for individuals---if you're homeless, if it's virtually impossible to lock down good, secure property with which you can start amassing wealth and/or building roots, if the majority of your paycheck goes towards paying rent...you're not going to get anywhere. You're fucked. Like spinning your tires around in mud.

@adiz I don't disagree with a lot of the sentiment but I have to concede that people should be allowed to own property and use / rent it as they see fit.Companies shouldn't. A person has rights, a company has privileges.

@prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer I do agree. I think housing should be both incentivized and penalized. It's the same exact idea I have with children. E.g.First X (house or child) is subsidized. Second X provides zero assistance or subsidies or rewards. All subsequent X confer penalties which increase with every additional X.Make it easy for people to have a home and to have children. Make it super fucking expensive for people to have 5 homes or 5 kids, for example.

@prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer heh, this reminds me some dude looking for a white country that was against the US, but wasn't socialist or communist because he didn't want his kids to be assimilated by globohomo. That poor soul isn't ready for reality ​:laugh_about_it:​

@arcana that's really sad. I genuinely sympathize with people who "don't belong" wherever it is that they're living, for whatever reason that is, especially in that way.
