  • Giving homeless people homes != “public housing”

    We do consider having a place to live a human right, but that doesn’t mean the houses are especially good or well maintained compared to commercial options.

    They aren’t always even the cheapest - those can usually be found from private renters who own one or two apartments they rent.







  • So what should I do with the inherited apartment?

    If I sell it to someone, they might become a landlord, which is bad.

    Should I sell it to the city? Will they buy it?

    Is it better if I gift it to my kid and keep it emtpty for 10 years until they need it? Then I’m not a landlord, because I don’t own multiple properties.

    Can you give me a serious answer without the /s

    If I inherit my grandmas apartment, can I put it up for rent since it’s a small apartment in a college town and there will be takers.

    Or should I sell it so I don’t become a “landlord”, which is bad?

    Should all students just buy an apartment for the 4-5 years they spend in the city or will the city be the landlord for them somehow collectively? Or is it less bad if the college is the landlord by offering student housing?
