    Their investments fundamentally come at the expense of the downtrodden by relegating necessities behind a paywall that they have private ownership over.

    Being a landlord is fundamentally against helping people. It is explicitly about utilizing the private ownership over housing in order to profit off of someone else’s inherent need of shelter.

    It is mutually exclusive and there is nothing that can be done to change that. The system is fundamentally oppressive.

      I’d definitely claim exception there in cases when someone travels often. Picture a guy who’s going to study at the nearby university for one year, but isn’t going to put down any roots in the city.

      But yes, I acknowledge that’s a comparatively uncommon case to most renters.
