A penny is too much.
So everyones labor should be free for you to take then? How are you not the parasite for wanting others to build, maintain and fund a place for you to live?
People should pay mortgages, not rent, you pillock.
What's holding you back from taking a loan and paying mortgage instead of rent? Risk aversion?
I can think of two reasons but I doubt this is exhaustive...
Most people don't have enough capital to make the down payment. When one person has no savings, they're irresponsible. When most people have no savings, it's poorly designed policy.
In addition, the option of being able to rent out a house increases its value, which makes mortgages more expensive than they otherwise would be (with no rents).
๐ Here is your award for most disingenuous comment! Congratulations for your total lack of ability to understand that others have different Material Conditions than yourself!
Then the problem is not that the practice of renting exists, but wealth inequality. Which we fully agree on, especially since several mechanisms are at work that further the gap between the rich and the poor. These all should be addressed.
Bad credit and no money
I never said that bahaha Gotta love being called a parasite for not wanting to have your blood sucked by a leech. OMG THAT LEECH DID WORK TO ATTACH ITSELF AND YOU WANT TO REMOVE IT?!? YOU JUST WANT TO KEEP ALL YOUR BLOOD?!? SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING A LEECH WOULD SAY, SUS AF...
You literally are here arguing rent should be free...so yea grow up child.
You said yourself that a penny is too much. What's lower than a penny and not free?
