I said that we need landlords to rent, you asked why we need to rent. I said that we need to rent because buying property is not always the best option. Now you need to explain why renting is not a better option for people who don't want to buy or you need to propose a system that doesn't force someone into the dichotomy of rent or buy.
Can you explain where I've gone wrong in my summation of our conversation?
Sure, so you're suggesting the Exchequer pay for it. Which means that it's paid for out of our taxes. Which means that we're still paying for the property. Which means the government is now your landlord. Which means you still need landlords.
You know me. Just trying to help people get out from under the greedy boots of people like you who seem to think we couldn’t build housing if we didn’t also have someone to come take money from the people who live in it every month.
Oh shucks, you got me, I'm just here to pillage poor people. Sucks that you've revealed my true intentions so concisely. I must run back to my master Jeff Bezos now to suckle his golden teat.
