Accountability in Entertainment • Page 480

So they're weird and annoying but otherwise not egregiously problematic?

 

Well being landlords is problematic

 

I said egregiously but okay I guess that's arguable

 

But I thought they were the couple that didn’t want to show their kids faces and always blurred them out? That’s not sharing everything. That’s being protective of their family

 

Yeah fair. I just felt the “annoying and weird” let them off the hook a bit.

 

IDK about that but I meant more of what they share verbally. Not that it's an accountability issue. they just don't really seem to have a filter when sharing stories about themselves and are very open. To the point where sometimes I wonder who asked for that but it's their prerogative

 

Most celebrities are probably landlords tbh

 

Schwarzenegger has said in interviews he's made more money in real estate than acting.

 

I will continue to dislike landlords and excessively rich people regardless of how common these traits are amongst celebrities

 

While I also don't like landlords, what's the ethical solution for renting? Honestly asking, I've never dove into this topic

 

may i interest you in the politics thread

 

Don’t wish that upon him.

 

I don't get it, the site generally skews progressive anyway, why is the politics thread then such an awful place? Are ppl on the left arguing w ppl even further left?

 

having rent caps is the obvious one

 

that is exactly correct

 

2 weeks ago my therapist brought up the idea of my wife and i eventually renting out our home instead of selling if we ever moved away and was very surprised how quickly i said not a chance

 

Well, not everyone there is “on the left.” For example, @David87 posts there a lot. (And I mean a lot.)

 

Totally agree, but then there's still landlords, yes?

 

Left infighting is wack and perhaps one of the only things that could make these threads less appealing

 

i think the ideal scenario (unless your ideal scenario is no private property ownership at all) would be making it way easier to buy a home and regulating corporations purchasing property in bulk with cash offers. I remember at one point when we were house shopping losing out on a house and then seeing it sold and then for rent less than a month later.

 

ideally social housing but there are many models of non-profit "renting" from the co-op to the MINT. the most important thing is to remove profit (and especially finance capital) from housing

 

i almost tagged wharf for comment tbh

 

yes

 

this is probably the only way I’d ever become a landlord, but I have no idea how people afford a 2nd down payment on a 2nd home without using the equity from selling their first home lol
