I dont care whether or not they like evicting people, neither do the people being evicted. The effect is the same, and people end up homeless.
The problem is capitalism, landlords shouldnt exist. Hence why i keep saying “Its a problem with the system” - the system is capitalism, which allows people to acquire more land than they need for their gain, while those who cant afford a home are exploited. I dont care how hard it it is for the landlord. I’ve listened to my mom talk about tenants she’s evicted, and no matter how shitty they are, they need a place to live. Thats the point of the post, not that landlords need to provide free housing. Its that they shouldnt exist.
I really only commented because the op in the thread seemed to be completely missing the argument of the meme, I’m not sure why that means i also have to solve Capitalism. But off the top of my head…
We could start by re-appropriating land, buildings, and housing thats is being sat on without anyone living on it, offer it to people who dont own a home at a fixed rate of some % of their current income, convert existing unused buildings to assist in the construction of social housing. We have the land, resources, and means to provide everyone with housing, it’s just an issue of distribution. Ideally, you would be provided with a home that fits your needs once a social housing system has been fully established.
