        there is no lower class or middle class or upper class there’s only working class and ruling class.

          There is still a massive difference between poor people living in slums and people with comfortable, but not ridiculously high income living in a better area.

            This is true, but only if you leave out the upper band of the comparison range.

            It’s like saying that there’s a massive difference between the size of a rice grain and the size of a loaf of bread, but leave out the literal planet in comparison.

    Any minute now the study on whether or not rocks are hard is coming out too. Big week in science.

    Slumlords exploit the poor who live in slums, landlords exploit the middle class who live in slightly better buildings

    No true landlord would exploit the renter.

    Those are slumlords. Which are mostly Scotsmen.

    There’s the reason they call them BIG think. Truly next level.

    But seriously is the study actually any good? Or the article?

        Which is the reality of renting, but saying that here will get you downvoted from people who don’t like reality.

          Renting should cease to be a thing. At least on the scale it is nowadays.

          More and more property is being gobbled up by landlords to rent out, leaving less and less space for new developments. There should be a hard cap on the number of rental units/dwellings a single person or company is allowed to own.

          So long as we still live in a capitalist system, the idea of property ownership should not be left a fantasy for the majority of the younger generation. Everyone deserves the opportunity to reasonably acquire property that retains value, instead of tossing away all of their excess money in rent which just goes to make someone else richer.

    Someone is a landlord and doesn’t like to think about the exploitative nature of rent-seeking, and is feeling guilty about it.
