Wait, do I understand correctly that in your place, the buy-in costs are roughly a third of the value (insured value or similar) of the appartment?
The financial system is failing since decades, maybe we need to make bigger changes
If the Tenants are really such victims they should just get together buy the property out.
If they could do that, they could probably buy a better place and wouldn’t have to live there.
I had to rant in a couple of comments because I drives me crazy when people defend leeching.
On a more constructive note: Housing cooperatives. I think they should be more widespread. Some people come together to build a house and then live in it for the cost it takes to actually support it. No crazy big apartments with a reasonable amount of people (roughly one bedroom per person), shared luxury such as gardens, in house shops, hell even a pool if you want. There is no leeching, just collective ownership.
the land couldn’t be used for housing
why not?
But generally yes, garages are less of a problem. But there is no ethical renting (under capitalism).
Are those parasites too?
Yes?
retirement/investment
Probably also parasitic
How do you live alone in a fucking house?
The renting part isn’t even that bad, the owning part and selling for profit is the problem.
go to war with companies, ban companies on owning and renting places, not people with that I can agree. But taking money is still taking money.
You still take someone elses money, just less of it.
It’s not that valuable and labelling it as “climate solution” is really onion-worthy
Finally, free speech! (/s, obv)
Fuck no, swearing is great, especially in my native language
