Easy. Buy 100 homes in my city. Become a landlord. Barely ask rent so it's technically not gifting. Use my infinite money to maintain the homes so people have affordable decent housing. Profit for all!

Short time later your homes are in ruins and your broke from continuously fixing your houses.

I sincerely doubt that the maintenance bill for 100 houses is going to exceed a billion dollars any time in for foreseeable future.

Found the idle rent seeker, or worse, a bootlicker for idle rent seekers.

There is a reason why capitalists and socialists both hate landlords, they are a relic of feudalism.

Nah, I guess tips will cover the repairs

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Tips will cover the furnace or the shingles when they wear out?

Damn those would be some nice tips.

Always be sure to leave a good tip to your landlord/landlady

I do, it’s called rent is 5x more expensive than it needs to be.

You need to add 20% to be a good person

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

What’s the difference between paying rent or leaving a tip (which is going to be used to cover expenses)?

[-] humbletightband@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Rent is fixed, tip is left for great service
