If it wasn't for hoarders I'd be able to afford a house. Shit my parents bought in 2003 and paid 233k, the fucking place is about a million now. They only make like $4 more an hour than they did in 2003, but because they were able to get in before it got stupid they are set.

Like shit it's an entire house and they pay what I'd be paying to rent a two bedroom apartment.

Eh, fuck off guys. It's his own place that he invested in and provides. People are allowed to make some profit for services they provide. No one said he's priced it unfairly or takes advantage. Jesus Christ you people are unreal.

It's about the audacity to even state that last question.

I'm in a similar boat as that guy, I rent out my apartment while living on the other side of the pond. My only reason for not selling but renting it instead is that I was born into that apartment and plan on living there when senescence starts taking a grip on my body. I basically rent it out long term for utilities+upkeep cost and haven't raised rent in five years despite some crazy inflation going on in the country.

But never even thought of asking this shit ass stupid question. Sure, not everyone is meant to own property, especially seeing the sorry state the cleanliness of my apartment is in between the renters the last eight years. But I'm not delusional to think that there was no privilege involved in me owning that apartment. Unlike what that piece of shit posits.

Ok, he does come off as an entitled twat. But so does the reply, and atleast he's got the benefit of being right.

Bro even Adam Smith calls out this behavior as negative.

Isn't he dead? Did they even have apartments back then?

I can't tell if this is a bad joke or an American education
