If you decorate it really nicely, the landlord can kick you out, and rent it out for even more money!

Yeah, it’s not just Zoomers. It’s so many more than just Zoomers.

Maybe in the past it’s possible to live forever by renting, but that’s not the case anymore.

You’re wasting your money as well. With a mortgage, you are paying that money into the house which you can cash out on. Rent just goes into the void. If you paid a mortgage for 10 years and needed to move, you’d have something to show for it. Not for renting.

I know a way to make it feel comfortable, but it’s so much harder nowadays to get away with murder and drugging people to death.

Well, then precarity is also bad for fertility. No one wants to have sex or have kids when they’re permanently a month away from homelessness. And that means after the alphas, we might see a severe labor shortage for our landlords and industrialist masters.

Curiously, this was a permanent problem under feudalism.

The problem with being a long time renter, is that there is no guarantee that the real estate will always be available to you.

What if your landlord sells your house/appartment and the new owner wants to move in? What if the rent hikes eventually make it unaffordable for you.

Unless you own the property, you cannot plan with certainty for the long term.

Do/did people actually wait for 25 years (to buy a house) before making their home interesting?

It’s more that if you own your house, then you can replace that sucky fixture with one you like, whereas if you rent, you’re stuck with the sucky fixture, and when fixtures break, they’re replaced with sucky fixtures.

I guess it’s just realistic and “make the best out of it” at this point

Well, they’re not wrong. If I had known I’d be in the same place after 10 years, I would’ve made myself more comfortable.

I’m a millennial and all I can say is I’ll squat in one of those empty houses before I accept this.

Damn straight. Even my boomer home-owning parents called me up to tell me it’s cheaper to rent than buy right now, and frankly, fuck that. Renting is still basically like cutting my paycheck in half and throwing it out my single-pane poorly-insulated window. Sure, I get a shitty roof over my head, but that’s it.

chonglibloodsport ,

Aren’t most of those empty houses in Detroit?

Streetlights ,

Oh and those pensions you might have heard of? That’s just an old wives’ tale, no such thing for you.
