    Personally, it only applies to huge corporations OR to smaller landlords who are abusive. Just because being a landlord isn’t always shitty and evil doesn’t mean we can’t be upset about the scenarios where it is. How much of that $512B do you think is going to the good type of landlord you describe?

      See, that’s an excellent point! But “landlords suck” as a stance doesn’t allow for nuance like “some landlords suck and some tenants are abusive dirtbags”, it paints all tenants as pure victims of a system and all landlords as evil overlords. This lets people who are tenants feel righteous.
