    If you equate rental cars and hotel rooms as the same as shelter used every day I don’t know how you are going to begin to understand the other person’s argument. I hope you can educate yourself about this.

      Yeah how dare I make an obvious point that people rent houses to make money. They aren’t charities. It doesn’t make them parasites or evil. They’re not responsible for the price of houses. They’re not responsible for social housing. They’re not responsible if you cannot afford what they charge to cover their costs & make money.

        the day you have to pay rent and get raped by a landlord and his bs you’ll change your tune.

        i own 5 5 acres of old growth swamp and guess what I’m never doing with it? being a parasite and building rentals on my land. the longer this property stays completely natural. the more value it should have in my heart not in my wallet.

        but hey the sword you live by, you die by. pray you never find yourself renting.

          I’ve rented plenty in my life. Then I bought a house and paid it off. Sobbing that people who rent properties actually want to make money or that they’re all “parasites” is laughable nonsense.
