    Charging rent is theft. It should be considered a criminal act. The threat of homelessness is central to ensuring compliance with capitalist economic incentives and that should horrify and disgust us. There is not ethical justification for rent.

        many variations of this attitude common throughout US society--a similar mentality, I think, is behind negligence in maintaining infrastructure and transit (assumption that cost of operations is nominal, and being asked to pay the full cost = extortion)

        "I shouldn't have to fix this" from owners + "I shouldn't have to pay for this" from users = hell world

        naturally, it's a vicious cycle which gets harder to unravel with each turn: it's very difficult to convince people to pay for what is clearly being neglected, and it's very difficult to maintain in adequate condition that which people won't pay for

        one additional point: this is where the popular interest in automation comes from--desire for things to maintain themselves on the one hand, and to cost nothing on the other (the popular interest in automation = desire for perpetual motion machine, and won't pan out)

        If rent only went toward covering building maintenance and wasn’t a way for landlords to generate profits from their “investment,” we’d all be paying a hell of a lot less (esp in high-demand cities where rents rise w/o corresponding improvements in building quality)

        In a slightly better world, we’d only have to cover the costs of maintenance and utilities, but so long as housing is sold for profit and humans need to live somewhere, landlords have no incentive *not* to suck us dry

        the costs of maintenance + utilities in their own right, but also the costs of providing for the maintainers + utility workers--what I'm getting at is that no matter how utopian the society, people in it will need to work and pay for their housing

        are rents artificially high, relative to the condition of housing, in the USA? I think so, altho it varies from unit to unit, but there are a ton of reasons for this (eg land use regulation) which don't have anything to do with the desires of landlords

        A lot of the people in politics pushing to maintain or even further tighten land use regulation are in fact landlords, so I wouldn't say it has nothing to do with the desires of landlords.

        Landlords directly profit from housing scarcity so it’s no surprise they want to make it harder for other people to break their monopolies

        Gotta get a "taxation is theft" ancap and "rent is theft" commie, put them in the same room, and see if they ever manage to realise they're both making the same argument.

        I should specify: A socialist state charging rent is materially distinct from a private owner charging rent of course.

        The powers that be used the storms of last summer to justify mass-importing Puerto Ricans to central Florida in an effort to swing upcoming elections. It begs the asking of a lot of questions. Puerto Rico being our "colony" is a complete loss thus far, and is a tool of the left.
