Small-scale landlords also usually have full time jobs and use rent to supplement their income. Not every landlord is just rolling in cash.

In a lot of places if you own any land you are a millionaire, it's coming to the point that if you own a condo you are a millionaire.

Choosing to use a basic human right as a form of income is scummy. All landlords are scum, whether they are rich or not.

People need a place to stay and not everyone has piles of cash for a down payment. Vote for the change you want, but in this system we need rentals.

Those rentals should be a social project not a profit driven one.

There’s more demand for rentals then there are government resources to provide social projects.
