ok to be clear, maintaining and upkeeping a property IS actually a job.

However it also requires that you well, do the job. There are a lot of people that housekeep for others, that's a job. Landlording is theoretically, a subset of this, in the other direction. But in reality, it's not.

Regardless, i think renting homes should be illegal.

Honestly anyone who happens to own two to five different properties shouldn't honestly be taxed nearly as much as anyone who is going to own 50.... 200..... 1,000 + properties who should then at that point be taxed 100% on their profits.

Landlords wanting to use AI to drive prices even more should be illegal. Landlords shouldn't exist.
