First it's "fuck all landlords" swiftly followed by "could make an argument for any number, for me it's two" and the revelation your grunny is a fat cat slum landlord 2 1 Link to comment

You also say all of the above like it's an easy thing to do. Like you can just find these things for you and your family (if you have one) like a piece of piss. Another person who's forgotten what it's like to struggle. If you work hard a mortgage is achievable on shite wages. Its not easy but worth the 60/70hr weeks if they're available. Link to comment

Fuck all landlords is more saying fuck the landlord as a "profession." You'll get folk who simply don't understand how what they are doing is fundamentally wrong, and are blissfully ignorant, hard to dislike that kind of person. Then you get the folk who try to justify it when challenged, like they are doing the renters a favour, then you get slum landlords etc. Letting agencies are also swine. I know someone who works for one and tells us all the secrets, proper scum. All weighed in the favour of the landlord. Jesus H Christ Link to comment

Ke1t Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I quite fancied being a slum landlord. Buy up a block of flats downtown, minimal repair, rent out at outrageous prices that the city will supplement, go round collecting rent and affect an Eastern European accent... because I always imagine slumlords to be Eastern European... and tell the single mother renters, "Well, if pretty lady can't pay rent... maybe we come to some... other... arrangement, eh? Eh? Hehehehehe!" Fucking topper of a job. Wouldn't even all it a job. Pure recreation for profit. Link to comment

There should be some guarantees in life, housing is one of them. Different if you want a new car, bigger house, etc etc, then I take your point. Free houses for everybody. That’ll fix it.

They don't "give them" the opportunity, they exploit their necessity for a place to live. The reason most people rent is because they don't earn enough money to save for a house. Most renters are people under 35, many of which will be on low wages, crap contracts, etc etc. I know from experience. What do you say to gentrification? Whereby people go into traditionally 'poorer' areas, buy up property, and raise the rental prices? People being forced to move out of places they grew up because they can't afford it. Should they just live somewhere different? The poor should stay in poor areas, spreading them out just brings down more areas, it's something I feel strongly about, leave people in areas they know and love, this move them to better areas doesn't make the mink a better person, it simply plants minks in good areas, they then start eroding where they are. 2 Link to comment

I don't know if you're trolling or not, but I agree with that anyway. You take minks and put them in a decent area, and they're not going to start acting like normal people... if anything they'll immediately start work on a pile of used car tyres, let their garden go to shit, and generally act like they were still in a minky area where mink behaviour is acceptable. Wall them into their mink areas. This is not speculation, btw... I've had a series of neighbours who rented the adjacent property, and despite them now living in a nice area they take their abject minkery with them. The best neighbours we had were the Syrians, who at least appreciated not living in a war zone. They'd no fucking idea how to deal with a cold climate, but they were brilliant neighbours. They did help themselves to the leaves off my grapevines, though... the scallywags. And they'd no idea how driveways work. Their first encounter with snow was legendary. Absolutely terrified, excited, and confused all at once. 2 Link to comment

Leaving a load of shite eg kids toys, old flat pack furniture etc outside their front door for months at a time because they cant be bothered doing anything about it. On the nose. You can tell a mink by the state they keep their house in.

I’ve no view on gentrification as it’s something I’ve got no experience on. It doesn’t sound a nice thing to do. Seems you’re trying to deflect a bit. End of the day your views on landlords are clear (inherited wealth ones) and the rest is just complete waffle Link to comment

Bloody good honest fun, cleaning the streets of vermin while supporting the team through thick and thin, I think most people would call it ledge behaviour. Made it safe for your average supporter away from home as well, was dangerous in the 70's/80's. The club are bending over backwards to accommodate the reunion, they don't see it as mink behaviour.

The renter is giving the landlord an opportunity to make profit/pay off a mortgage by means of needing somewhere to stay (something everyone needs.) I don't agree with private housing. Not deflecting re gentrification as it's a point worth noting, if anyone can just buy up what they like, with disregard to how it effects anyone else, knowing they'll always have a rental market , how is it fair folk, because of this, are priced out of living where they grew up? Finnieston in Glasgow a great example of that, 20/30 years ago it was viewed as a total shithole, somewhere you didn't want to be at night, now it's a trendy blah blah coffee place and rent is through the roof, hardly anyone from the area originally lives there now. More shite. Link to comment
