You can afford a house in most states on about $100k. She's just a single mom, don't assume she doesn't have a solid education.

Sexists in here, smh.

I don't personally think taxes should be used for punishment, but I think the rules of a system should be setup to achieve the desired outcome. The rules right now are setup to benefit a few entities owning most of the real estate, and we need to build a system that makes it more expensive to own homes if you already own a home, and it should scale based on how many you already have. Also, there should be penalties for gouging people. All the pharma bros who have been hiking the price of medications through the roof have revealed that most of the people in the USA are vulnerable to captive markets.

Taxed at whatever the adjustor lists as the price. So big corps can by up all the houses/apartments in the area really cheap, and then hike the price up in an inelastic market while pay taxes at a much lower rate.

Is it more important that a tiny percentage of "normal people" get a chance to be millionaires just before they die, or that they all get to have a place to live without spending their entire lives scraping by?

Normal people selling their normal house at a normal price would not be affected. Only people trying to sell/rent trash for a premium would suffer, as they should, since they are gouging people and artificially inflating the market.

Homes should not appreciate in value, and we need, as a society, to stop viewing home ownership as "nest eggs" and wealth-building tools.

If housing value constantly goes up, housing prices are constantly going up. Homes cannot be a method of building wealth and also be affordable to people.

Raising taxes on landlords raises the rent.

its not my fault she got pregnant after we had sex—but if she refuses to birth my child, she should go to prison.

Exactly.

I think it would make the day of my employees harder for a few months.
I think it would make the rest of all of my wifes days really really bad.
I think the only people who would be happy that i just died would be people on the internet with superiority complexes.

"Nice" cars, taking a Vacation, and name brand clothing isn't the demographic of rich we should all be fighting against. The actual rich wouldn't define anything they do or buy that way. They don't buy nice or fancy cars, they buy luxury cars. They don't buy name brand clothes, they buy designer clothes. They don't go on vacation, they just travel to their 10th summer home on their 3rs yacht and take a couple conference calls on the way.

I hate seeing the definition of middle class and the lower class fighting against each other. That's literally what the ultra rich want, they love it, it's their other favorite hobby.

Just because someone might barely make it out of the lower class and be able to afford a higher trim level on their Honda, and actually take a vacation doesn't mean that's a bad thing, what should fighting together for that be a thing for everyone in the lower class.

Yes i have to. Every unit has to be a net positive to itself or at least stay a small net negative so other units can catch a non-scheduled repair. I'm pretty sure the tenant wouldn't be happy to have to look for a new place just because a pipe broke.
Yes, i drive a Taycan and my wife has an ID.5.
Yes, i sit in my garden and enjoy whatever the weather allows me to.
Yes, i exclusively buy clothes made from good quality natural materials. A sweater of the brand of clothes i buy costs about 160€ and lasts about 8 Years. I have not had to replace one yet and i own about 40 pieces of clothing in total. Not counting suits.
What is an overpriced drink? I drink filtered tapwater, sometimes carbonated and at the rare occasion that i eat in a more fancier setting i drink Sprite.

Market rate

I cannot tell you how conglomerates do it, but i can speak for myself.
I own 10 Units that i rent out. I raise rent depending on what i think next year is gonna happen. But i also have 2 companies that generate income that i take into account a tiny bit.
It's been fucky since the Corona™️ though so i kept raises to the same level they were in 2019. About 4% a year.
I raise my rent to market value whenever i have a change in tenant.
I have never reduced rent. My costs have never gone down. If anything i didnt raise rent one year.
I cannot keep rent the same forever because inflation and other cost increases would just eat at the foundation and if something breaks i will have to just sell the entire unit.

People act strange when they think they have a moral high ground.

Seems like they're all new to the Internet...

You really wanna know how little will change? Or was that just flamebait

All of them. Food, gas, petrol, property tax, car payments, electricity, water, my employees.... you name it, it got more expensive.

You don't believe changes in the supply of a good influence its value?

You can dream bobby, but your dreams are not reality.

Ya'll act like satire hasn't been dead for a good 15 years.
