Tired blob

If you actually read the CNN article, you’ll see how landlords running out of money is also negatively affecting tenants, as it’s hurting their ability to maintain properties and provide housing generally. 

The system is in need of major reform but needlessly villainizing all landlords/housing providers in the short term is not going to do anything to help the massive housing shortage that exists in the U.S. 

Landlords are not "housing providers"

In urban centers, podunk towns, and everywhere in between they actively snatch up otherwise affordable real estate in order to maintain a stranglehold on renters through inflation and artificial scarcity.

Landlords and rental associations actively lobby against affordable housing and renting control initiatives.

Landlords do not contribute to the economy or the communities they hold property in, they actively parisitize them.

They garner income through the simple act of owning a building, and writ large, will fight tenants tooth and nail to wriggle out of responsibility for maintenance and repairs on the properties they hold, because those responsibilities cut into their bottom line.

And when we get into the further egregious mess of corporate landlords and property holders, they aren't even incentivized to prevent evictions to ensure a stable rental income, because recent bailout measures have resulted in lucrative schemes for corp. landlords through which they make MORE money by evicting tenants, getting insurance bailouts, and generating high eviction rates/ tenant turnover to generate as much as possible in quarterly profits

Landlords at all levels, from your corporate grave tillers to your "neighborly small-town" property renters are parasites who extract wealth from their tenants as a further reward for owning properties.

I have moved over a dozen times and not once have a seen a landlord who actually maintains their property. Infact I/my parents have had to threaten to sue my landlord (one more than one occassion) inorder to get them to fix major problems (broken heating, cracks in the wall, damaged faucets, ect.) Because they ignored us for months when we asked them to fix shit.
