I wouldn’t exactly call a 1900 sqrt ft. house “luxury”. $6000 a month may sound crazy but that’s extremely reasonable for the area.
There's a fucking housing crisis and you're the second chucklefuck to defend this dumb shit.
No, when millions of homes are owned but left empty because they're unafforable for people to live in, anyone involved in keeping housing off the market for only themselves is a class traitor.
When millions are in the streets who have jobs but housing is unaffordable it's a fucking indictment of our entire system and all the people who own more than one piece of property.
If he is renting it, he has a place to live.
What, you're fine with paying this pricks mortgage for him?
In my city there's a guy who owns some of housing, but he tries to bring down property values with them, so people can afford to live in the neighborhood. He rents them well under market value and paints them entirely black, out of character for their neighborhoods. That's class solidarity.
Maybe he is just living in a temporary place somewhere else for work? It’s not like he buying houses in mass to rent them.
You don’t even know what he is doing with the profits. Maybe he is donating to charity or maybe he is just coving his mortgage.
Charity is a farce. We need progressive taxation. We shouldn't have to rely on the flighty kindness of the rich to achieve anything in society.
We DO have progressive taxation, but it’s full of loopholes and doesn’t work.
But whatever you want to be reality, is not, and we do rely on the kindness of the rich so would you rather them not be kind?
No, I'd rather eat the rich.
