Damn, you're right. It's like how I'm not worried about wealth inequality because I lucked out and have a steady 60k a year job with a nice employer. Not all employers are bad.
Or how I don't give a shit about abortion because I made the stone-cold choice to not be a woman.
When things aren't affecting me they don't matter so why are people making a big deal about it?
Think the point being it's nuanced, there are valid rental scenarios. So when someone sees renting shouldn't be a thing at all, they can be understandable put off, exactly the same way you are put off by someone saying they actually have a good renting scenario.
Renting should be an option, but housing stock shouldn't be slurped up by big firm either. There needs to be reasonable path to ownership as well as choices to rent. Depending on the area, the balance is of off one way or the other.
Going from a safe place to live, to a steady income, to abortion. Dude you're an idiot. Fuck off out of this conversation. What are you, 13? Get real dumbass.
