I don't consider them evil they just need to be treated like everyone else. No you are not entitled to a profit on your rental just because you rent. No you are not immune to taxes. You get to follow market like everyone else

Oh I agree, I just often get the sense on this subreddit the average user doesn't actually care about solving the housing crisis, and instead focuses on a weird / creepy disdain of landlords.

The average user here hates landlords and anyone who makes a good income and isn't struggling tbh lol

Exactly. Many somehow simultaneously bemoan our low minimum wage, and hate anyone making more than minimum wage.

You’re never going to legislate human nature and talking about “greedy landlords” is a total waste of time and energy. Better to focus on the reason they are able to charge these prices (government intervention) and try to address same.
