@prettygood Holy shit. Why? Is it really that bad? I thought it was bad that I had to provide my SSN, employer information, pay-stubs and tax return documentation, and submit to a credit check just to apply for an apartment. Housing out be a human right, it should be accessible and affordable.
@prettygood Idk how that applies. All I know is that housing should not be viewed as an investment item, it should be a widespread commodity, it should be easy to access and afford. It's the baseline by which wealth can be generated for individuals---if you're homeless, if it's virtually impossible to lock down good, secure property with which you can start amassing wealth and/or building roots, if the majority of your paycheck goes towards paying rent...you're not going to get anywhere. You're fucked. Like spinning your tires around in mud.
@prettygood and he think this is because of 'landlords' and not because of extremely pro-tenant laws that make it very easy to lose lots of money on a bad tenant, so of course everyone is being vetted as if they were about to join the CIA
@lain@prettygood the stuff im most angry about is Schufa. private company and a black box which decides if u are credible or not. u cannot not become their customer for many things here.
