That's a fucking Robber Baron. But also still a landlord.

We should get rid of landlords. Just a quick thought. Spitballing here, I dunno. Could be good, could be bad, who knows?

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 52 points 1 year ago (62 children)

But what about all the housing they provide? very-intelligent

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I dunno I haven't really thought it through yet but maybe like...what if we had some sort of system that gave everyone a home?

Just spitballing.

Better future headline: landlord dares to show their face in television

canada needs to do something about landlordism, it's a huge problem there. They blame the unaffordable housing on 'foreign investors' but the 'foreign investors' are coming from inside the house.

30K cheap houses entering the market is a meaningful improvement to people's access to housing. To put it into perspective, according to the first DDG result the total number of houses they will be short in 2030 is 5-ish million houses. So 30K is more than half a percent of the total for the whole country. If they just guillotined this one dude/confiscated these houses the government could coast on good will until the next election.

I hope this is a fucking parody

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

Or at least that it ends in parody

[–] stigsbandit34z@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Read 30K and still convinced it’s from a satire account or something

Comically stupid shit
