The problem isn't landlords it's land_barons_ rich fucks and corps treating housing as a business working the bottom line.

Not the first gen home buyer getting a 2 FAM or 3 FAM and renting out the spare unit. Not even when they get enough to buy a single and keep the multi as thier first step into making generational wealth.

Its the fuckers that buy up housing to rent at above market and do nothing they don't legally have to maintain them.

Oh and they leave them empty for months on end instead of lowering rent to get the units all filled out.

Lots of new apartments are being built in my state but 90% is "luxury" crap that's just going to keep raising rent.
