This is a fun read in the wake of learning about all the personal data car manufacturers have been collecting

Ill give you the benefit of the doubt that you mean even if it was pre-global warming cooler it'd be too hot to walk. It's still extended those periods where it's too hot and cold to walk. Plus, again, we also call for buses and trains and trams for your air conditioned travel needs.

Ive never seen any calls to bulldoze anything. We do a lot of complaining about how much was bulldozed to fill landscapes with stroads and parking lots. And dont act like we're not calling for buses and trains as well. Have you stopped and thought about why it's too hot to walk around now?

Are you talking about the current situation or my hypothetical? Because money and commitment are a big part of renting an apartment.

Im the guy saying get rid of all landlords. Being investors is what makes them bad.

With an absence of landlords, buying an apartment unit like a condo would be how that works.

But a rental isn’t a mortgage. You don’t get your money back when you return any rental item, why would a property be any different?

right, thats why Im confused why anyone would rather rent.

also Im hearing an alien language. Im living in a rental property, I've never had one furnished, and I've been threatened with eviction for not managing the property myself. I aint seen my landlord in years.

Also, please dont buy into the propaganda that wealthy people are taking on risk. Its never about risk, its about having enough money to own the things that people need. They're not gonna stop needing it.

It's how mortgages work. You make a monthly payment to live somewhere, same as renting. In the rental scenario, it all stays with the landlord. In the mortgage scenario, you have paid off some portion of the price of the house. When you move out, you sell the house, and use that money to pay the rest of what you owe, and the difference is yours. It's like selling your car when buying a new one, except housing in the US tends to go up in price even when used.

Its no word game, this is layman's terms, rental properties are bought by investors. I just dont get why unincorporated investors also sucking up money get a pass.
