      here's my hot take, and I truly expect to take heat for this, but WHATEVER. My "better things are not significantly possible any time soon, so we need to deal as best we can" stance is well known.

      The actual take I have: The way of life best suited to averting most major social issues (climate change, social isolation, right wing politics) - urbanism - will not be possible without landlords in the next several decades

      I know what everyone's immediately going to say, "but, Ellie, housing COOPERATIVES or government entities can own high rise buildings!" Several responses to this: 1) government is good. That's true. Minus full communism, which ain't happening, all housing won't be gov't owned

      2) I am not aware of any banks offering mortgage loans on high rises to cooperatives. Those are the two, fundamental, practical points: only for profit corporations can build the kind of units most suited for human flourishing right now. BUT ALSO

      3) I do not want to live in a collective,cooperative,or any other situation where people are more in my business than they need to be.I want to live in a studio apartment in a high rise and mind my own business.This is most likely to happen with well regulated corporate landowner

      A cooperative is going to be prone to the very types of policing and interference with personal life that a corporate landlord avoids. Yes corporations can discriminate, but 1) mostly they're too busy 2) this can be solved with regulation

      Even if we could regulate out the collective's ability to police a resident's life, I and a lot of people do not *want* to be "building equity" in a home. I'm absolutely aghast at the prospect of what would have happened to me had I bought a house in NJ when I had a good job.

      Renting, when it works properly, gives a person the most freedom within anything remotely resembling the current system, to move around and do as they please. The problems with it are failings of regulation.

      Replying to @BootlegGirl

      I'm resigned to the fact that we'll probably never have enough money to buy a place, but then again I hate yardwork and building/equipment maintenance, so renting is our best option.

      People really love pushing home ownership as a symbol of commitment and responsibility, and the whole thing is that commitment and responsibility is bad when the thing you're committed to and responsible for is a bad idea
