Hey, guess what, you don't know me or my situation either. Like how you were claiming I've never worked with the homeless when hey, guess what, I've been homeless. Thrice.

And the alleged hypocrisy of me renting to them? It was their idea. If anything you should understand their position since you love renting so much.

As for Co ownership, they are being put on my will, so if I croak it's theirs. They know this and are fine with it. I'm taking on the debt instead of them that way if shit goes south I'm the one on the hook, not them.

As for selling it to them, at this point they would be paying way more for it because there was a huge hike in property values and taxes around here so they would probably still get screwed anyway.

And if there was a huge shift in the economic structure of my company and eliminating landlords as a function was a possibility, I'd fight for that. I don't want to be a landlord or anything, I just want a place to live and this setup was the best for everyone and again, their idea.

As for the accusations, I didn't accuse you of being a landlord leech or whatever, I said that if you're cool with this system that hurts people because it's convenient for you, you're an asshole. Which I'm pretty sure you are since you're giving a whole "but it's easy for meeeee" selfish attitude towards the whole landlord debate.

So let me ask you this, what would your ideal housing system look like?
