It's not like that at all though, is it? 

I'd expect a man with 2 degrees to compose better analogies. 

Disagree with me but don't be a dipshit. 

That cunts got two degrees? In fucking what?

If you’ve managed to do well enough in life to buy property as an investment for you and your families future then well done. Give yourself a wee pat on the back. 

As long as you and your family are alright, eh? 
 

Fuck those other families who are at the behest of the rental market. 
 

Nae other ways someone can set their family up without hoarding property? I dare say there is.

I couldn't tell you, but I've slagged them for it. 
 

Not going to turn down reasonable rent, tho. 
 

At least they aren't trying to fleece me, like every other landlord would.

I'd be selling that house if I didn't use it. Wouldn't be using it to exploit renters. 
 

I'd do it for a fair price, probs. 
 

 

Market value sale or below ?

So, only a cunt for the period from inheritance to sale then back to no cunt?

What if you then invest in a property fund via an investment company?

So, can we agree that, possibly, your sweeping generalisations aren’t always accurate?

You’re unreal Consi.

I actually rent the place I stay, prefer it.

In her instance, I was for a passive income, after her husband (main source of income) died.

 

Disagree with the principle of landlords, still. But there's not much I can do about that.

How am I unreal? 
 

Im a person with fuck all money, limited options. My choices were; rent from a private market where I'm getting fleeced either way, rent from my folks for a reasonable price, knowing they'll look after any problems etc and won't shaft me with no heating for a winter.

 

I still disagree with the principle of hoarding property. Especially when it's so difficult for ordinary folks to buy houses atm. 
 

Im comfortable with that.

I'll talk in generalities but I will make space for nuances. 
 

Ultimately, I think the world would be a more decent, and fair place if people didn't hoard housing for personal profit.

I can disagree with the principle of private housing/hoarding properties and accept that it's a fact of life. 
 

I disagree with the principle of fossil fuels but it keeps me in a job. 

Doesn't mean I can't think it's wrong, not like I have options to do much about it.

Consi I don't think the issue is folk owning an extra property or dare I say it even two, the issue is planning, nimbyism, lack of social housing etc.

Maybe those who rent and don't wish too should vote for or form a political party that would help their interests?

The issue, to me, is people hoarding the available housing, and pricing people out of affording their own houses (by charging them extortionate rent.) 

 

The reason there's a lack of social housing is because social housing would decrease the value of private property, which can't be allowed, obviously. There are MPS at WM who are landlords, and actively vote down legislation to create more public housing. 
 

So, ordinary folk unable to own their own houses, are fucked. Either pay extortionate rent, or live on the street.

Biggest problem is we have two major parties in the UK, and the SNP here, who act on the interests of landlords.

The biggest problem is the disparity in wealth distribution, and the deliberate destruction of social safety nets. 

There should LITERALLY be no poverty in developed nations. 

NONE.

I meant the biggest problem in relation to housing. 
 

Naturally, I agree with your statement overall.

I agree, so if you rent and don't want to vote for someone else. But these people don't. Brexit (immigration) wasn't even a mainstream issue until Ukip formed and made it one. If folk really despise renting so much they should form a party, or at least try and push the issue harder.

No, that's not it. I've went winters without heating because my radiator never worked. I called about it umpteen times, every time they said it was fine, because it technically turned on. It doesn't have to get hot. It just has to get a little warm for it to be ok. 1948 Act. Farce. Threatened to charge me money if I phone them about it again. Happy to take all my rent money and then try shill me for the deposit though :-). Another guy, different flat, complained about the mould, he explained how it was my fault because I wasn't opening windows in the middle of winter after I had a shower. That cunt never got my last months rent. He got to keep my deposit. 

Ok, so you have had a shite experience (love Shaina Twain) but I am sure others can regale you with stories of tenants being as equally cuntish - guess what people can be cunts regardless of their wealth.

However labelling someone on their wealth alone is a proper minky, and jealous, trait ?

Also did you not try bleeding the radiator ?

That's assuming there's a party willing to stand for your interests. Labour is a fucking disgrace right now. 
 

People do try to push the issue min, many people been banging the drum for years. Corbyn was a huge advocate for more social housing and an end to homelessness. Viewed as "not realistic." Or "non serious." 
 

The problem is staring everyone in the face, not that it'll be admitted by any mainstream politician. 
 

Brexit was supported by many Tories. Labour should be acting on the interests of working people. They don't. 
 

The Labour Party needs reclaimed from the cunts.

They did a decent thing in changing the eviction rule. 
 

Not introduced any price caps though.

I think it's a conflict of interest to be able to vote for/against social housing or for/against private housing reform if you're a landlord. 
 

Just IMO.

It was a brick heated radiator, ancient. 
 

Im not labelling them BECAUSE of their wealth FFS. I'm labelling them BECAUSE of how they attained it. 
 

Ok, so tenants can be cunts, does that mean people should hoard housing? No, it doesn't. 
 

Would you be ok with folk struggling to access water? People investing in water cause they know it'll always be needed? Profiteering off of water?

Responsibility of the landlord.

Not his.

They are supposed to provide all services required.
