I know I'm supposed to want it to keep going up as a wealth generator or whatever.

But like... I wouldn't be able to afford the monthly payments if I bought my house right now and it's scary. Also none of my friends are buying homes, none of them are even renting full places. Just like renting rooms.

So what are your feelings home owners of lemmy?

Why do you think that is? All this raw anger directed at a member of our economic class? Maybe, just possibly it is because everyone has had at least one shit landlord and they know that said landlord got away with it and is still out there ruining another person. Nah crazy talk. It must be totally random.

Wow, neat logic. Hey, now that you mention it, I've met a shitty person or two in my day. Guess I should call for the death of all people, hmm?

Wait, this couldn't possibly be the same exact logic most racists use to justify why they hate X race, could it? Naw, I guess this landlord is just "one of the good ones," huh?

OR maybe all X aren't Y just because some X are Y.

As exciting as this sarcasm battle seems, you have made up your mind that all X are in fact Y and nothing I say will be able to change that, so I'm going to have to decline, sorry.
