      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)

          the work that most of humanity did for most of history (growing/hunting/gathering food) is now sufficiently automated that 1-2% of our population handles it for everyone

          At some point, YOU are the maintaining machine. And yes, that implies the need for an at-minimum homeostatic ecosystem for maintaining you and yours.

          Great thread. One underlooked thing is ppl buying rental properties without the capital to maintain. You offer unfinished place you leading to the tenant not wanting to pay and land lord not having funds to fix. Think one problem is many land lords dont understand the input cost

          The most viable solution to this problem is: 1) People own their own houses 2) People who think this way let their houses deteriorate 3) We point and laugh at them and refuse to help. This isn't a great solution but it's the best we've got

          Just make a contract which will give current renter a part of difference between inflation-adjusted current rent and future rent [if it's positive] incentives at least partly corrected

          Disagree. Automation is more often driven by the cost of labor. The $15/hr minimum wage in Seattle drove fast food stores to kiosks, eliminating jobs. Same thing with auto assembly lines.
