    Let’s try not to use gendered language.
    “Landbastard” is the preferred designation.

      I think “landleech” rolls of the tongue better, but it feels wrong to compare them to something that plays a legitimate role in its ecosystem.

      A landbastard also implies there’s a seabastard, skybastards, and firebastard

      Call them the derogatory term that they are: Capitalists.

    Landlords have their place. However, it’s filling the niche between hotels and home ownership. Maybe 20% of housing, at most.

    The current crop of value syphons are not a good thing. Unfortunately they are a symptom, not a cause. If housing supply was high enough, then the margins for landlord would shrink enough to get rid of a lot of them.
