Lol please don't criticize the landlords, this is purely the fault of the tourists
If the former residents had been smarter, they’d have worked at a job that made more money and simply purchased a home outright using their diverse investment portfolio as collateral. Hmph!
It's like they didn't even consider asking daddy to simply purchase the home for them?!
Bullshit, the landlords could choose to rent them out for apartments, but that would be less money for them. It's the landlords fault much more than the tourists, because they're the ones putting them on Airbnb.
Yeah no shit
whoosh!
Ooof, people here really did not see the sarcasm.
Unpopular opinion:
It's the government fault for not writing laws that protect housing for its citizens.
It doesn't matter how much you think it's imoral (it is) but the simple fact is anyone will always follow his nature given the chance. Landlords will landlord and tourists will tourist. Laying the fault on them and doing nothing makes you complicit. They won't stop ever, because it's not their nature. It's the government that has to force them.
Send the tourists home. Send the landlords to the meat grinder.
This is the way
Spain has built a pretty big tourism industry. Stopping people from coming in would result in a lot of unemployment.
But if the work wasnt necessary, this is a resource allocation and cruelty issue.
Who gets to decide what's 'necessary?'
There are a lot of answers to that, snd i cannot think of a worse one than what we have right now.
But my favorite: the people doing and supporting it.
If you can't think of a worse system, you should probably read more history books.
So you just like this one and wanted to pretend there are no alternatives. Got it. Very intellectually honest. Carry on; i won't interrupt.
Carry on; i won't interrupt.
Of course you won't. We're on the internet, and I can post anything I want.
That's another thing you should read up on.
I meant your meticulously maintained ignorance, dear. Sorry, i was assuming you had interiority and weren't a philosophical zombie.
You definitely cannot, and much of what you could would be banned.
What you want to post is likely to be banned.
I, on the other hand, can make my point without resorting to name calling and vulgarity.
You should try it, even if it leaves you with very little to say.
No i meant you can't post intelligent thought or, like, a 40tb single piece .rar archive. You literally can't.
But i wasn't talking about what you were allowed to say, sorry; I thought I'd already clarified this. Why do you want to argue about something totally tangential and pointless on which i expressed no opinion? What are you getting out of this?
Every time I post something you have to scramble and backwalk and 'move the goal posts.' You haven't made any actual points, just thrown out insults.
I'm not getting anything out of this conversation because you haven't put anything useful in.
Your first comment showed that you hadn't read much history, and you haven't improved since thin.
This is a waste of time. You can keep sending as many messages as you want, but you'd be better off reading a book. Howard Zinn's "A People's History Of The United States" might be a good start for you.
Okay most of this just read like llm garbage of someone totalky just lashing out with no regard for any context, but that bit at the end was a pretty solid burn and im absolutely gonna steal it at some point.
