ID: A Sophie Labelle 4 panel comic featuring Stephie in different poses, saying:

Landlords do not provide housing.

They buy and Hold more space than they need for themselves.

Then, they create a false scarcity and profit off of it.

What they’re doing is literally the opposite of providing housing.

    This is maybe true for landlording corpos.

    In general though? Sorry, fuck you guys. When I can buy and rent an extra house or two for passive income, bet your titties I’m doing it and I’m not going to feel bad about it.

      It’s not that passive. If you want passive income get an ETF. We are selling our old apartment because of all the hassle of renting.

        I guess what I really eventually want is an accessible vacation house near some water and a reasonable way to offset the cost without just letting it sit empty half a year at a time. Living in a college town now, it seems like the short term rental demographic might be a decent choice depending what and where you pick.
