Anticapitalist rant.
While preparing for rent’s due date, I wanted to rant.
My household pays $18k annually. Putting a number to it reminds me how shitty our housing system is, because my rent is lower than so many others. I don’t think my landlord is worth $18k a year, and he genuinely not a bad individual. Categorically though, ALLAB (all land lords are bastards).
With an extra $18k per year, I could have hired people to maintain our house, initial cleanings, and cosmetics, and still have $8k to spare. It’s even worse after years in the same place, as most fixes are single expense.
All in all, what would you do with a year’s worth of rent if you didn’t have to pay a bank or landlord? Bonus question, do you think any landlord is worth that price?
