BogusMeatFactory@SehrLesbisch It is insane how true this is. Even homes are like this. My neighborhood has 4 houses owned by the residents, the rest are owned by a single guy who rents them out. I'm one of the lucky 4, but we get calls, knocks on our door and mailers daily asking to sell our house to them. It's always a shitty offer too, but "IT'S CASH!!!"
Morten@Bogusmeatfactory @SehrLesbisch If it wasn't cash, what would it be? It's only in prison you can buy things with cigarettes. IOU?
@drgroftehauge @SehrLesbisch oh they mean in physical cash. Like they offered us $9,000 in $100 bills for our house valued at over $200,000.
@Bogusmeatfactory @SehrLesbisch Oh, that sounds like money laundering. At least it would where I'm from. Crazy!
Heliograph@SehrLesbisch what if they own one very little old house, but their mortgage is so high that they cannot afford to live in it themselves just yet, so have to rent it out (*at an affordable rate) and live in a tiny place for rent themselves, closer to their workplace?
Minzoku Bokumetsu@Heliograph @SehrLesbisch I think those folks are just "homeowners"
they aren't "lording" anything
@minzoku 😭🫂🙏 thanks @SehrLesbisch

> get all the renters because of better prices
delightfully devilish, hope nobody else has the same idea

if it was Minecraft and there was infinite land I'd agree. but current landlords bought in 1994 when it cost 12 Eurobucks to buy an apartment, while now it's 42.

@kaia @SehrLesbisch @genmaicha so a landlord sells it at market price, the new buyer is now acting ethical renting it out for the same rent as before?
starfox 64@SehrLesbisch landlords are scum
