    A man owning a home and renting it out isn’t the problem and you know it.

      It’s not the problem but it’s part of the problem. Obviously the problem is giant corporations buying up tons and tons of homes, basically hoarding property, and renting them for near-mortgage prices. But that doesn’t change the fact that the concept of renting out property, renting out a home, is parasitic.

        No it’s not. Renting is a totally normal way to have a place to live without having to deal with banks and the mess that getting a mortgage or a loan causes. Some people prefer to rent because they just pay for the home and live there. Don’t have to worry about the rest that comes with home ownership and leave it to the owner.

        Renting as a business or corporation should absolutely be outlawed. Apartments should be owned by the tenants. Condos and HOA’s should be owned by the community they serve.
