>> attention should be directed at them to alleviate price pressures
Why is that the responsibility of small landlords who rent out a spare bedroom or second house? That's like saying it should be on independent gas stations to alleviate high oil prices.
- yieldcrv 3y agoIts not the responsibility, its an observation that they are more susceptible to peer pressure while having been largely overlooked as a contributor to housing price pressure
- noduerme 3y ago>> more susceptible to peer pressure This implies that one should pressure people to the degree that you can pressure them, rather than to the degree that they're in the wrong. Which is pretty unjust.
- yieldcrv 3y agoI'm not familiar with that reading of it, and I have no opinion on the existence of that side effect. My observation is that they have an outsized influence on housing price pressure, while they currently fly under the radar from local disdain about the influences on housing price pressure.
