    I mean if he is actively lobbying the government to increase his taxes so that free housing is available, sounds like a good landlord

      Until you learn they’re ending homelessness by criminalizing vagrancy.

      Rock and a hard place for me with this mentality. Exploit the weakness then close the gap. Shit it’s better than previous landlords. So the ball is rolling the direction we want. Maybe not at the right pace though.

        I mean the landlord could also have a mortgage to pay. You have to evict at some point. But, ideally, the government would be able to step in, recognize the risk presented to the tenant, and either pay their rent or issue a moratorium on the mortgage so that they wouldn’t be evicted.

        If the landlord was trying to fight for such government support, then they’re doing the right thing
