No thanks. I’ve lived in 6 different US states in the past 6 years. I understand I’m an extreme edge case, but I’m a huge fan of renting apartments at this stage in my life.
Now maybe in this hypothetical society with better housing and whatnot, I wouldn’t have felt the need to hustle and grind and work my way up the corporate ladder and move around as much as I did… But for my situation, yea I like renting

It’s only a parasitic financial relationship when the rented property is on the hands of a private owner. We could totally have collectively/publicly owned housing rented at maintenance costs, which would 100% remove the exploitation.

Municipalities renting out apartments is really common where I live. I think this sort of differences are why the discussion about landlords seems often strange to me. Here renters have good protections and rights, there’s plenty of municipality owned or otherwise low-profit marging letting organizations and so on.
