if a landlord can't afford to install air conditioning where air conditioning is required, they should be forced to sell any and all properties that don't comply.
actually, hold on, let me fix that for me:
landlords should be forced to sell any and all properties except the one they live in. period.
America is not the only place in the world. In places without mass corporate landlords, private landlords happily fill that void and are absolutely still the problem.
Show me a landlord that genuinely finds efficiencies that arent just 'hire a cheaper contractor than they would hire for their own home'.
Then youre miss informed about where our housing supply is going and who's driving up rent. Here it is predominantly private landlords.
