@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I disagree that they provide a service. Landlords are parasites who benefit unfairly off of others. They do the bare minimum (and sometimes not even that), while being compensated far beyond what their supposed services are worth.

And no, the government shouldn't replace landlords. Everyone should fully own a home, and that is well possible. We just need to ensure wealth is more fairly distributed, instead of continuously favoring those who already have too much.
