I get the general criticism of landlords, no issue.

I'm curious, though. If your landlord is also your handyman and continuously maintains and improves the property, does that change the criticism? Because landlords or no I couldn't afford a house right now, but while renting the non-absentee handyman landlord sounds pretty decent to me?

@hummingrain I mean, the property ownership and "I'm a rentier for a living" thing is pretty immoral on a grand societal scale, I think. But we're ALL complicit in some part of the Grand Machine, so... yeah, a good, fair, friendly landlord is worth their weight in rent. At worst, in my book they are Last Against The Wall When The Revolution Comes. :)

@zebratron2084 yeah. I mean, I figure as long as we're in a capitalist cash for shelter system, this way the landlord is earning their pay. Esp. if they limit their profit to a reasonable yearly wage
