I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

Yeah, part of the reason for the hate is because its a purely transactional relationship.
You’re not really helping someone by renting out a place to them through a company. And its a low bar to set if you think “oh well at least they are not homeless”
My tenants get 30% below market rate on rent. They get 24/7/365 access to maintenance calls for any issues. Every 4 years I renovate a room of their choice. I never get up on their business. Anyone else would say they have the best deal going. But here on Lemmygrad I am still the bad guy because of an investment I made 15 years ago, and decided to maintain in order to ensure my disabled son has a home. I respect your opinion, but I’m done defending myself on this site. No one here lives in reality. It’s almost comical. You have a great life. I sincerely hope whatever you are looking for in life you find. Cheers.
Sorry, the “you’re not helping” isn’t directed at you specifically. It’s you as in landlords who do that and then say they’re helping someone not be homeless.
I live in reality, but I don’t live where you do. Where I live, homelessness is a HUGE problem and the streets and people’s backyards are filled with tents. I’m not even exaggerating. Go look at Portland, Or news. It’s all about homeless people. People have an extremely hard time finding housing here.
There’s nothing comical about being homeless.
