    If you don’t understand the fundamental difference between a house that is rented and one that is owned, I really do not know what to say. You do not care if people own their own value. Sad.

      What are you even talking about?

      You originally said

      Fuck the realestate industry period. It shouldn’t be commodified to the point where there are more empty houses up for rent, airbnb, or sitting empty as “investments” than there are homeless.

      Yes, there’s more apartments sitting empty for a month or two than there are homeless people.

      There are fewer apartments for rent sitting empty for a year or more than there are homeless people.

      How exactly are you proposing that we fix the homelessness crisis with apartments sitting empty for a month?

      Owner-occupied housing is great. The only person who brought it up before this was me, when I pointed out that some vacant homes are actually owner-occupied.
