As a renter I have experienced some really dirty actions from landlords, and given the drop in housing inventory, landchadding just seems exploitative with no gain for society.
There are many better investments that do not involve such depriving folks of the housing stock, don’t have the stress of dealing with people and better returns. Leasing property is like lazy stupid money that could do better elsewhere.
I don’t think money makes one evil. But one can use it in evil ways. I have done well over the years but I always to to consider what impact my investments have on the world or society.
