will Dax and Kristen waive the rent again? Better yet, will they cede this land over to the tenants and dissolve their property empire? I’m guessing the answers I seek are a hearty, resounding “No!”

I don’t get the blanket outrage for people being landlords. Are they good landlords? Do they take care of the property? Do they offer reasonable rental rates comparable to similar properties? Do they keep rent increases limited? Then what’s the problem with making an investment that provides a decent place to live?…

My niece rents from a landlord who is property rich and has a limited income. He has told her he’s sorry she and her husband have both been laid off however the rent is still due.

This is getting fucking ridiculous. Yes, rents need to be controlled so people can’t hike the every year and make cities unlivable, but there is nothing inherently immoral about owning properties and renting them out at a fair price. I’m dizzy from the amount of times I rolled my eyes reading this idiocy. 

Slow day.

Yeah, tell me this; without the existance of a rental option, would any of these people be able to buy land on their own? The writter seems to think that landlords are still the rich entitled lords that basically turned serfs into renters. This is, however the 21st, not 18th century, and if someone wants to invest…

Amen - there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the Bell-Shepards owning some apartments. In fact, as rental housing stock in LA goes, you’re much better off having a celebrity couple like them for landlords (they’ll fix things, if only to avoid bad press) than some real estate investment ghoul like Steve Mnuchin who…

Probably because so much of what passes for being progressive online is taking ideologically sexy but wildly unrealistic positions and then shitting all over people who don’t match those positions 100%

I mean I am in that camp ideologically and I still think this is dumb as hell. 

Shes probably pissed her landlord won’t and is taking it out on them. 

A Marxist analysis of property (or really any economic activity where paying rents is required) seems to be inherently flawed, since Marxism as I understand it doesn’t really think that rent is a moral/viable requirement. If Joan wants to get into dollars and cents when she’s analyzing property ownership through a…

It sounds like Hamilton Nolan is writing under the pen name Joan Summers. 

Yeah I thought that was really weird to have here. They took the step when so many corporate landlords aren’t doing shit.  Like why are they being called out here?

Put them in a guillotine and they all look pretty much the same.

But it should be easily agreed upon that accumulating rental profit from the wages of people likely making far, far less than you is at best a tad questionable.

Accumulating rental income from people making far far less is questionable at best? I don’t understand this at all. Should wealthy people not be allowed to charge rent? As long as they are responsive landlords charging locally reasonable rents, how much or how little they have in their personal bank accounts is…

In fairness to reasonable people like me who could go the rest of their lives without seeing one more headline featuring the name Kardashian or Kim Kardashian... Don’t even get me started on her baby daddy...

I also love the older style stockings! But if you ever decide to try tights again give yourself over to A New Day tights from Tarjay, my friend. Soft and comfy as hell, accommodating sizes, perfect matte with none of that shiny crap, and cheap cheap cheap. I live in tights and I’ve tried everything from Target to…

So to recap, when the petulant manbaby called a woman “bitch” and implied she “owed him sex” (a rapey sentiment that everyone who bought his music simply overlooked)... IT WASN’T TRUE? You mean that “bitch” has agency? And had it the whole time? And doesn’t owe men a fucking thing?

1) Garrett, people are creatures of habit. If you can’t tell time, you need to set up your own schedule. If that means you only eat dwindling peanut butter supplies on Tuesdays and find one thing to clean on Wednesdays, great, but pick a schedule.
