Well, nor do I have a proposed solution by way of regulation for the problems caused by gentrification and income inequality. At this point in the discussion I'm just saying that there are deep problems with "free market" rental housing. That doesn't imply that what's needed is a quantitative system of regulation. You could also, for example, just appropriate the houses from the landlords, right?
- aetherson 11y agoWell, you could, yes, but it's hard to imagine a system of "just appropriating the houses from the landlords" that was justice-positive.
- eli_gottlieb 11y agoNo it's not. Just appropriate the houses from the landlords, justice served, job well-done. Landlording is the world's second-oldest form of straight-up exploitation, right after pimping.
