Housing should be free
DemBoSain, 
If I’ve learned anything from crypto, it’s that you have to burn the surplus.
Nualkris, The poverty class is necessary as a threat to the working class to keep them accepting jobs and pay they don’t particularly like
sudo, Landlord-Tenant relations is the bleeding edge of class conflict. Just the most ruthless shit that most Americans go through. If you fail it you go into the gaping maw of homelessness and incarceration.
kittenzrulz123, But if we don’t keep people poor and desperate how will the capitalists sit on their massive pile of gold like a demonic dragon?

“How is my iNveSTmeNt ProPerTy supposed to increase in value if we don’t enforce scarcity?”
henfredemars, How can a select a few live in disgusting luxury with the wealth of 1000 lifetimes if we don’t have homelessness?
vzq, Is this factually, verifiably true? I figured there would be empty houses (friction etc) but one for every twenty persons sounds like a lot.
match, 
*Twenty for every one persons
vzq, Total persons in the US, not homeless persons.

Calling that claim “false” is deeply unsatisfying when the actual ratio of empty houses to homeless people is worse than the stated one.
LinkOpensChest_wav, Right? It’s false because it’s even worse than previously stated. Hopefully people will pick up on that.
sunbather, it does indeed make one wonder seeing as the 17mil figure is from 2019 and with Everything thats happened since then its bound to have changed
LinkOpensChest_wav, It’s almost certainly even worse now.
quindraco, But that site indicates not all 17 million are owned by banks.
Many of the vacant housing units on the market are homes that have been foreclosed and are now owned by banks, according to Business Insider.
The BI claim corroborates the theory that it’s not 100%:
A large chunk of the current vacant housing stock is made up of homes that were foreclosed upon, meaning they’re now owned by banks.
I mean, memes don’t have to be 100% accurate, either. I don’t want to overhype a small distinction. The underlying idea is perfectly sound.
LinkOpensChest_wav,
LinkOpensChest_wav, This exhausts me…
The meme says “banks and corporations.”
I don’t want to overhype a small distinction
Yet, you did. Inaccurately, at that.
Take a break and come back when you can read before responding.
