So landlords should provide their service for free then? Is that what you do?
Where is your apartment complex where you invite people to stay for nothing, and just pay utilities? Can you share your listing with me so I can move into your complex? Living expenses are ridiculous right now, I could use some relief.
No, landlords should not exist in my opinion. Public housing should be available with zero profit incentive.

Housing co-ops exist, dude. This isn’t some obscure, groundbreaking concept.
Also, housing co-ops aren’t solutions to short-term housing. Renting is a good solution for that. However, since renting is intrinsically morally reprehensible no matter what, what’s the solution to short-term or temporary housing solutions?
Why wish? Just do it. If you’re renting, owning or renting to others, you’re just perpetuating the system you’re criticizing and have no moral high ground.
But if you’re renting, you’re enriching an evil landlord or an evil property management group, so you’re contributing to the problem. There are more than enough hypocrites on here to unite and create a co-op, so why not just do that?
You’re just ignoring the nuance.
The nuance here is that you’re charging more than what the shelter costs. You are profiting from it. Literally nobody is making you do that.

I agree with you and I’m aware. So you live in a housing co-op then?
No, I wish.

This is very, “you criticize society, yet you participate in society. Curious.”
I don’t rent to anyone so I have nothing to worry about ethically. Me participating in a broken system by renting is not relevant at all.

How is this even a real response?
So we’re demonizing renters now in a thread about greedy landlords?
It’s not hypocritical for someone who’s against landlords to rent out of necessity. That’s absurd.
