One of my cats (always a house cat) will literally run to me for help if it's anything bigger than a fly. He got scared of a dust bunny and came crying at one point.
On my my barn cats got let into an attic that we suspected had rats in it. She wouldn't come down for days till she finished the job. One day we were on the porch, and heard scrambling on the roof. Nex thing we know she's taking a 12 foot dive from off the top rope with an 8 inch rat in her clutches.
Yes i get that, but if i buy a house and rent it out i have to take the risk that the house is fucked afterwords, i have to fix stuff and i want to be compensated for my effort, therefore i have to charge adequate rent. Why am i not allowed to charge enough to cover my costs?
Because being a landlord isn't labor. "Risk" isn't labor, it's gambling and creates no value. If you're genuinely running a non-profit, cool! But we all know that's not what landlords do.
Nobody is asking to solve the homeless problem by advocating for people to literally buy a house and gift it to someone. We can solve this problem with public housing and split the cost among all of society, without the profit motive driving up prices.
Who is asking you to pay for someone else's home lmfao? Do you mean via taxes? Because that's pennies my guy. If you're gonna huff at helping people in need with your tax dollars (which by the way stimulates the economy when we invest in equity I.e. Helps YOU) then you should not be living in a collective society. You my friend have what is called crab mentality, in other words "fuck you I got mine" because some pennies is too much for you.
My favorite thing is people that complain about cities and their homeless crisis then when actual simple solutions are posed it's "no I ain't paying for that." it's like people wanna see others punished because they ended up where they did.
This might sound crazy, but a lot of (maybe even most) people can't afford to spend hundreds of thousands of [currency] for a house, even if they qualify for a mortgage.
