my parents keep telling me I have to work for for profits to get an idea of how the “real world” works especially when I talk about housing policy and I’m like. I have exactly as much respect for landlords and developers as rational economic actors who are needed, in our current capitalist system, to “provide” housing, as I need as a professional. and as someone who will not never, until they die, have as much housing security as they have ever experienced, and as someone who spent the entire pre-covid vaccine period talking to landlords and tenants individually and witnessing people barely escape getting thrown out of their homes into a pandemic with no job, I am not ever gonna respect them one iota more. sorry.
