There's the reason they call them BIG think. Truly next level.
But seriously is the study actually any good? Or the article?
No it's defending landlords and attempts to seperate between "Good innocent UwU landlords who provide good service" and "Slumlords"
Which is the reality of renting, but saying that here will get you downvoted from people who don't like reality.
Renting should cease to be a thing. At least on the scale it is nowadays.
More and more property is being gobbled up by landlords to rent out, leaving less and less space for new developments. There should be a hard cap on the number of rental units/dwellings a single person or company is allowed to own.
So long as we still live in a capitalist system, the idea of property ownership should not be left a fantasy for the majority of the younger generation. Everyone deserves the opportunity to reasonably acquire property that retains value, instead of tossing away all of their excess money in rent which just goes to make someone else richer.
