The people who build the homes are almost never the ones living in them and paying the energy bills.

- denkmoon 4y agoThis decoupling of capital for building houses and those who "consume" the housing is only going to increase this problem. My apartment tower has broke garbage disposal chutes on _every single floor_. That is, the building's waste disposal system is entirely broken. For 2 years now. Nobody can get it fixed because by my estimate under 20% of residents are owner-occupiers.
- rdtwo 4y agoDon’t you have a HOA that can vote to make it happen?

- denkmoon 4y agoStructured slightly differently in Australia but yes there is a voting body of owners. Problem is the owners don't live here and don't give a shit if I have working waste disposal outside of receiving their rent payment. That's the entire point of my post :) People who own things (and therefore control them) and people who use them are becoming less aligned. Real Estate agent says to contact building management, building management ignores you, real estate agent says there's nothing they can do about that. Perfect denial of responsibility. Move elsewhere? It's all the same in other buildings.
