    No, not all landlords are greedy but the ones who’s decisions have a large impact on the housing market are. The elderly widow who is renting out her basement to a young professional isn’t being greedy. The CEO who said this quarter he’ll return 25 million in stock buy backs instead of the regular 15 million are the greedy motherfuckers

      You got 2 downvotes for saying it’s not all landlords. I think that was what I was getting at.

      It’s easy to point your finger and blame an imaginary person for your problems. But it’s often much more complicated than that.

      There’s an infrastructure built around benefiting people with wealth that, in turn, harms people without wealth.
