Hundred years ago it was normal to beat women of they were out of line. Millenia ago it was normal to own slaves. It’s also “normal” for the US Healthcare to screw over people who need Healthcare. Just because something is “normal” doesn’t mean it’s somehow right. Slavery was normal but then different societies over time understood that slavery is not right and it stopped being normal. Beating women used to be normal but over time we learned that’s also not right and it stopped being normal. I don’t know about you but I don’t think ripping people off is right. However ripping people off has been normalized for capital owners (including land lords).
Nobody should be wishing for his demise (compared to Blackrock and its kin, who I do think should cease to exist), but at the same time he shouldn’t be padded on the back for not ripping off his friend as much as he could’ve. What he did shouldn’t be normal.
He didn’t rip off his friend at all. He took just enough to pay the mortgage and save something up in case of repairs. That isn’t ripping him off. That’s doing him a favor since he charged him so little.
Dude, they explained perfectly well how they ended up with two houses. 2 people had houses, they got married and only needed one. They weren’t preying on people, it just happened to them.
That doesn’t change the fact they aren’t normal people. Most people would love the hope of ever owning one house in America, as a dual income household, much less two single people who are rich enough to have their own homes.
They rented it out to their friends for like half of what a similar place would cost. Then they sold it after their friend moved out. Not seeing how that’s so morally reprehensible. You honestly just seem like someone who is jealous of someone else and so are shitting on them to feel better. And even if they did sell, if everyone is someone they can’t afford a house, seems more likely a landlord would buy it anyway.
You can start by stopping the privatization of shelter. We can better fund and staff HUD for assistance to those who need shelter. This country is plenty wealthy enough to end homelessness, but it actively chooses not to. Same with food assistance. It’s a choice.
So, like, tear down all the apartment buildings and focus on putting every single human in a single family home for free? Like, how does your mental image of this work?
Yeah but what if they ebded up separating with their partner? It just made sense to keep the property. Renting it out just covered the cost and made sure it was not empty.
They as a couple had multiple properties yes. But as individuals before moving in together each had 1. And rhat is oerfectly fine. Nobody expects you to immediately sell your property when you move in with someone.
Can we not shit all over normal people for doing normal stuff? This dude doesn’t run Blackrock, he had a single rental property.

He could’ve given the rest money back to his friend after all the repairs were done. He chose to keep that money.
So given the equity to his friends?

Yeah fuck that guy for being born early enough to be able to buy an $80k house via mortgage
So what, they should just give their house away for free?

Can you explain to me how this dude renting out his property to a friend for half price is causing homelessness?
deleted by creator
So far all you’ve done is lash out at everyone and swear. You have no compassion. You just have anger.
So what is the proper method in your mind?

Privatization of shelter as in home ownership?

If they sold it they’d be scumbag real estate agents, since we’re apparently taking everything to extremes.

Well apparently renting one out is to you, I’m just following your logic.
Yes, my extreme position of - I don’t believe people and corporations should own multiple properties while homelessness exists. I’m a true radical.

Yeah I really did type that out you bastard. It’s their fucking property. They could have left it empty. Having a property is just housing safety.
