Some mother fucker landlord testifying against it had the balls to say he was a "small landlord with only about 50 units" eat my balls dude
Soon: mother fucker landlord sets up fifty straw corporations, each being the legal owner of exactly one unit.

TC what do you think about Green New Deal spending as a way to fund the construction of N houses?

Where N is the number of households who want a house and are currently renting.

damn i was actually hoping for an answer

most buildings are not properly weatherized or using the latest and greatest in air circulation, etc. So part of the goal was to modernize that with retrofitting old buildings and building new ones.

And housing construction was part of that too, since the goal is to address issues around social justice too, rather than just raising capital to help corporations get to carbon-neutrality.

If the GND was a thing, we'd be able to build more housing and that would be a great way to reduce landlord power. By increasing supply so much that it makes no sense to treat housing as an investment anymore.

A dude who's barely maintained fifty units for several years, is likely looking at a considerable expense all at once to barely maintain them slightly better.

Unless these same standards apply to selling houses, the biggest beneficiary of all of this is going to be Homevestors or local clones.

Landlord hate is some entitled poor cuck bullshit, but this bill seems fair, any leasing/contract business should be required to provide a bare minimum of quality.

This even has some Republicans backing it? That's impressive.

Hope that it succeeds.

True, but I was thinking that you'd need a significant amount of R support in Arkansas to get this to pass, which made me more surprised that it looks like it will win.

Also, one Democrat voted against this. WTF?

We are pretty sure that it won't. This committee is way more favorable than the rest of the legislature. It's like 11-9 R-D vs 76-24 or something like that in the full house

Ah, so the committee split is very different than the house split. Sorry to hear that.

I'm thinking a federal law might be needed for something like this then. Arkansas is also the only state with criminal eviction laws as well?

Litetally comparing yourself to Greta Thunberg.

Not really, the point is that Im not going to give up my convictions simply because they rustle the jimmies of people who worship the concept of landlording, and its silly to suggest that I should.

Many of them are not

This is a perfect context in which to hate on landlords though. If there are any at least

this gets you nowhere in your cause or in life.

Neither does any posting done on a casual online message board.

Pointing out the inherently exploitative nature of landlording is something thats been done forever, even by guys like the father of capitalism, Adam Smith. Its funny you call me the emotionally invested one when its you who was talking about me and putting extremely exaggerated inflammatory words in my mouth in this topic before I even got here.

Thats just projection, though. I am not part of the cadre that was talking about a user before they even entered the topic.
