ID: A Sophie Labelle 4 panel comic featuring Stephie in different poses, saying:
Landlords do not provide housing.
They buy and Hold more space than they need for themselves.
Then, they create a false scarcity and profit off of it.
What they’re doing is literally the opposite of providing housing.
Exactly, if renting wasn’t a thing, that means everyone unable or unwilling to buy a whole house has no other choice but to live on the street.
The middle ground should be there. It, in and of itself, is not a bad thing, quite the opposite.
It’s weird that people conflate renting or temporary but long term housing with “landlord”.
Public housing accomplishes this without transferring money to a landowning class
