The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

β€œWe know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

Landlords are parasites on society.

You can't afford to buy. If not for landlords who would you rent from? Where would you live?

The idea that if there were no landlords you'd be able to afford a house is absurd.
I agree corporations should be limited in how many single.family homes they are allowed to buy but this whole "all landlords are scum ". Schtick makes u look pathetic and ignorant of the facts.

They said, not even knowing where I'm from. There are people who would be dead without Soviet Authoritarianism.

And somehow that's not what I'm advocating.

A LOT MORE people would be alive and well without Soviet Authoritarianism or any other flavour of socialism/communism.
