    Ah, so the government is your landlord now?

    It’s good, because Americans have so much trust in their government right now.

      Good thing I’m not an American.

  Look into public housing in Finland.

    I am from Finland and public housing is shit.

    • prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Public housing was shit.

      Or are all of the articles like this are staged?

        Giving homeless people homes != “public housing”

        We do consider having a place to live a human right, but that doesn’t mean the houses are especially good or well maintained compared to commercial options.

        They aren’t always even the cheapest - those can usually be found from private renters who own one or two apartments they rent.

  No rentals, houses will be gifted to everyone and magically conjured out of thin air.

    Your sarcastic inability to see a different path does not mean a different path doesn’t exist.

      Well, so far all of the “different paths” turned out to be completely crap at working. But surely the next time will do it.

        …what different paths have been taken? Certainly not enacting a tax code that would make multiple unit ownership progressively unfeasible. That’s just a start. Of course, that would take the electorate to actually be educated and informed in their voting and stop reelecting these geriatric ghouls on both sides of the aisle. To be fair (to be faaaiiiirr) I share a lot of your nihilism.

        Maybe if your owner will slap you softer if you lick those boots good enough, you may even own a shoelace one day.

  Government-provided housing, social housing where your payments get you partial collective ownership, cheaper mortgages now that landlords aren’t artificially inflating the rates?

  The government. They used to provide housing in the UK and then they stopped and stopped building new houses and now they’re unattainable for most.

  Yeah some people desire to be exploited! Send those kids back into the mines! /S

    Can you give me a serious answer without the /s

    If I inherit my grandmas apartment, can I put it up for rent since it’s in small apartment in a college town and there will be takers.

    Or should I sell it so I don’t become a “landlord”, which is bad?

    Should all students just buy an apartment for the 4-5 years they spend in the city or will the city be the landlord for them somehow collectively? Or is it less bad if the college is the landlord by offering student housing?

    • prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      You could donate it? You could turn it into a shelter. You could let someone live there for free… Why is selling the only option you can think of?

      source

      • lepinkainen@lemmy.world ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        “Rent free” so I’d pay the costs and someone could just be there for free? I can’t afford that.

      Yes landlords shouldn’t exist. Colleges shouldn’t exist either talk about a cash scam and purely for profit leaches, don’t get me started on student athletes only a real scumbag would take a billion dollar industry and not pay the “workers”.

      • lepinkainen@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Not American.

        Our colleges and universities are free. There is no student athlete industry over here.
