    Let’s try not to use gendered language.
    “Landbastard” is the preferred designation.

    Landlords have their place. However, it’s filling the niche between hotels and home ownership. Maybe 20% of housing, at most.

    The current crop of value syphons are not a good thing. Unfortunately they are a symptom, not a cause. If housing supply was high enough, then the margins for landlord would shrink enough to get rid of a lot of them.
