I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

And honestly, today I agree with you (although I think there is some merit in a rental system as some people prefer to rent). I haven’t bought a property for 15 years and I see what the younger generation is going through. If I knew then what I know now, I would not have purchased rentals. But at the time the real estate market was much different. Hell there were decent properties for sale for 70k back then.
Utter bullshit. The only reason people rent instead of buying is because prices are too damn high.
And prices are too damn high because of landlords. If you are both problem and solution, your job needn’t exist.
It was exactly the same, only cheaper. And it was the flood of landlords buying when it was cheap that led to prices getting higher.
People like you are the reason this problem exists.
You at least deserve credit for admitting this.
There are many European families that I know in Canada that are financially able to buy but choose to rent.
Then you know many fools.
Some people like the flexibility, some may not be in the area long term, some may believe the stock market has better potential. In our free market type society, that is their choice. You can rail against the status quo, but whether you like it or not, it’s the current reality. As shitty as it is.
Such a pointless statement. Also, “it’s their choice” is massively overselling it.
