Just heard on the "local news" here where one of dallas' outlying suburbs has banned new short term rentals anywhere but commercially zoned areas, so at least that little bit of sense made it through.

I'm not forcing anyone to do anything. But if leech landlords (as described in the meme) are on the chopping block (regulation) I'd happily drop the cleaver/vote in favor.

I rent out my basement at well under market value to an older lady that was in the house when I bought it.

I understand the post was made as a generalization but some landlords aren't bad and some situations are better than the alternatives.

Would you rather I kick out my tenant and god knows where she would live or maybe she becomes homeless?

So renters would just live in someone else's house for free?

You should tip landlords, not get rid of them!

A single property, no, multiple properties with fair rent, yes. The problem is prices.
