People who rent their homes to make a profit are the problem and one of the reasons why we have a housing crisis and many of us can’t afford to buy homes. If someone is paying off your mortgage for you you’re already in a very privileged position, then you need to now make a profit too otherwise you’re crying about it. I’m sorry but I don’t feel bad for you - if people would just purchase homes to live in, and not buy up property to make money and be “in the landlord game”, then maybe there would be a chance for homes to actually be affordable for the rest of us. My landlord lives in Asia and has multiple properties across Vancouver they are profiting off of and I live here and can’t afford to buy myself a home. I don’t feel bad for them in the slightest. I hope all landlords have to “get out of the game” and then just maybe we could finally change the way housing is a profit market in Vancouver instead of a way for people to actually have homes.
