Just sounds to me like double the reason to have guarantees on housing and other basic human needs. Landlords might lose their tenants but they can rest easier about retirement.

I think renting a room in the house you live in is one thing but if you start owning separate properties then you're just getting into using wealth to build more wealth. We're way too obsessed with wealth in western culture. If the supposed premise is that you just want to secure your future then okay, but it's obvious people go way beyond that. And the premise of being priced out of a dignified life is gross to begin with anyway. Maybe a long time ago you could make the case for our current systems but I feel like we've technogically advanced to the point where we could take care of everyone if we were willing to actually put in the effort

That's generally why most people try to accrue wealth. If that's how someone wants to earn their money then so be it. Doesnt make someone a bad person simply for earning money with their property. Anyone with a half a brain would do the same thing if they had multiple properties.

If you don't pay your mortgage, you lose your house to the bank. Why are we shitting on landlords while simultaneously excusing banks?

Even someone with multiple properties isn't necessarily mega rich either
