DaveTV1 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 This is really a dumb question. Of course a landlord should profit. Nobody rides for free. They have to pay many people for upkeep, maintenance, and other expenses. If you want somewhat free housing be homeless. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte1076 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I have to wonder sometimes if the people who make these videos understand even basic economics. To quote Guido Sarducci: "You buy something, and you sell it for more." I think the question is: Why is profit greedy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnjoyLife Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 In short...no. However I do think there is a wage issue in the US that has made rent unaffordable for many as $trillions that should have gone to workers wages and benefits over recent decades was funneled to investors instead. It is no secret that working class wages have not kept up with the rising cost of housing, Healthcare, higher education. Restrictions on new construction in places like California also factors in as does the record high immigration of the last 30ish years that has created an artificially high demand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with making money but money should be made not only legally...but also ethically...and never by exploiting the powerless. The "anything for a buck" excesses of American capitalism are why more people turn against capitalism every day. That is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not it at all. The reason that rent has gone up is because property values have gone up. My property tax value shot up another $30,000 this year. There is no way my house could double in value in only 11 years, and it's worth more than triple what we paid for it. Auctions can be very cheap ways to purchase property when the housing market is low. I expect housing prices to come down if people don't get back to work and catch up on how far they are in arears.

People were living rent free until the Government came along in most parts of the world. It wasn't until man began creating towns and cities, and then making kings, ceasars, pharaohs, etc. and they began taxing the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, you are lucky, my home value doubled in less than 6 years. And it is still going up. I have to fight the county each and every year about the taxes, until this year, because they did not know we put in a pool, so I didn't fight as hard. LOL.
