@alexhern Call me a grouchy pinko, but I tend to think of landlords as, by definition, rent-seekers since... they are assuming risk to live off my rent, guaranteed by my desperation. To normalize profit-seeking housing is to normalize an inherently antagonistic class structure, no?On twitter.com

@alexhern It's like after the fall of the berlin wall, people instantly forgot government once concerned it part of their job to protect the rest of the population from the sheer predation of real estate speculation, and "dont see class" when they talk housing somehowPermalink On twitter.com

@alexhern I have known plenty of people who qualify as "good landlords" but it's kind of like being a philanthropic billionaire-- an entirely optional abnegation of your role in a brutal system, whose very existence is deployed to distract from the rest of the system working as designed.Permalink On twitter.com
