shameful family secret
My parents... rent out a house
They were going on about the new regulations coming into effect and about how it was "just making it harder and more complicated for people to rent out houses" and how "a lot of landlords might just not bother, sell their properties and then there would be no places available to rent"
I did point out that they're getting a cheque once a month for effectively fuck-all but apparently that's not the point

@InspectorCaracal I was personally in favour of a) turning it into a fediverse commune or b) selling it to someone buying their first house at a very reasonable price but sadly wasn't my decision to make
shameful family secret
@troubleMoney I mean renting a house at a reasonable cost may not be a bad thing for people who can't afford to buy one. Once people have the money, they tend to buy one and someone else could rent it.
re: shameful family secret
@troubleMoney yes, please, landlords, sell your houses
