This, exactly. I am all for universal housing but frankly the cost of a house in materials alone is beyond the ability of many people to afford (tiny homes don’t really work out for people with they are going to have children, and children are the foundation of our future economy.

I think the government has a place in providing housing for those in need, but landlords also have a role.

When people trash rental units or skip out on rent and abuse process - regardless of whether the landlord does their duties - it does not encourage small scale landlords to assume the risk. However, it’s a rounding error to Blackrock.

Industrial scale financialisation of housing is not good for anyone.
