      8/ ...and if it's a big corporation, is it ok then? Who do you think owns "big corporations"? Normal people, to a large degree, via retirement savings, investments, and such. Maybe retired Mrs Smith doesn't own a second house - maybe she owns shares in a fun that owns REITs.

      9/ And aside from celebrating theft in the short term, what does this "ha ha screw the landlords" accomplish in the medium and long term? How does it alter incentives? You absolute God damned children. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

      Yep. The house I'm renting belongs to an immigrant family. They moved across the country for work, and their property investment is now a source of income. How dare they realize the American dream.

      My landlord (until we bought a house a few yrs ago) was a little old widow from our church whose husband had assembled a few houses to rent as passive income to care for them in their old age. Anyone saying “screw landlords” is literally wishing ill to a poor old widow.

      Long as we're sharing anecdotes, my landlord for two years of school was an Iranian refugee; awesome guy, electrical engineer by background, fled after the revolution. He'd immaculately redone a duplex + convenience store himself, to live/rent/work in. Great, great guy.

          20/ Entropy does that. For the analogy to work all you need is for the incentives to shift such that people no longer invest in housing stock (e.g. via maintenance). https://twitter.com/thepoliticsund1/status/1290405590032887808 …
