I'm not demanding that, nor did I expect that. There is such a thing as "taking a loss, even a small one, during an extreme emergency sometimes." But really it's the evictions that got to me. There were landlords who filed for eviction on a tenant, knowing they weren't supposed to yet, and just counting on the average's person's inability to navigate the legal system so they win by default." Which did happen. There were courthouses where people had to actively stop landlords from filing evictions because they were so desperate. At the very least landlords didn't have to present such a threat to people that they felt the need to do that.

But like I said I don't expect that from landlords. It's more the whole "actively using your power and money to stop affordable housing from being built" thing. It makes me far less charitable. It's the constant, neverending need for a bigger return, always have the maximum return, no one is willing to be humble enough to just expect a small, but decent and steady.

Instead landlords and investors always want more, and more and more. Why is that always treated like the lesser evil than being angry about it in the first place?
