You need to understand that when people have problems with landlords, they do NOT have a problem with the SERVICE part of what they offer.
They have a problem of it being used as an investment, rather a job.
No one is suggesting that someone putting all the time and effort to get a building built shouldn't get paid for the time they've spent doing that. But that's where that payment stops, when they've gotten paid for the hours they spent working on that.
When housing becomes service AND monopoly, that is where the issue is. Land ownership is problematic, and profiting off of a state backed monopoly is even worse.
- pmiller2 7y agoIf by “service,” you mean the part where I pay someone else’s mortgage, then, yes, I have a problem. If you mean taking care of maintaining the property (which is what I think you’re getting at), then I don’t have a problem paying fair value for the labor involved.
- aaomidi 7y agoYes that's exactly what I am referring to.
