  • I think the majority are against it. Unfortunately, there is as long history of minorities leading and oppressing majorities.

    And just to clarify, I’m not referring to minorities like blacks or hispanics. I mean like rich, old, white guys. Or MAGA in the Republican party. Or whites in apartheid. That sort of thing. The majority of Americans didn’t vote this in, the majority of VOTERS did.


  • I think people conflate corporate and private landlords. An individual landlord is not going keep his rental empty to drive up prices because he can’t afford the rent loss. Also renters are not angels. They can create so much work and stress for a landlord that he’ll wish he was mowing lawns. That renter may be the breadwinner for his landlord but the fact is, if he doesn’t pay, the landlord will lose the rental and the renter will be on the street. The reality is, you’re not going to get free rent no matter how much you want communism to give it to you. Better to pay it to an individual that you might be able to reason with, than a corporation that will refuse to. It’s all a matter of degree. But yeah go ahead and downvote because all landlords are evil.
