    This is just childish mimicry of Marxism. The “landlord” as a source of income becomes a villain because the landlords as a class were villains in the eyes of Marx.

    That said, people who full-on hate all landlords would say “fuck you and your money you filthy capitalist pigs” to your argument. That the house is hundreds of thousands of dollars doesn’t mean much to a communist because “property is theft”. Yada yada.

    That said, the fact of that seems to bury the real criticisms about megacorporate landlords that represent a fairly large percent of all rental properties.
