We rly do live in a world where rent is so exorbitant they invented an "offer your literal living space up as a hotel for strangers" service but the vast majority of people don't own their own home and have no significant control over how many people live or stay over with them and for how long

All landlords should be given over to the whims and wishes of their tenants...a few examples might encourage the others to stop being landlords. Start at the top.

Hot-take: Landlords are the scum of the Earth. Think you, a landlord, are above the law? You are less than scum, a parasite on society. I despise you. If you are a landlord or a landlord apologist, and think I'm being too harsh on landlords? Fuck you! All landlords are bastards (ALAB).

I can't stand that my landlord feels the need to visit and skulk around literally every day, when he doesn't even live in this neighborhood. He comes by just to hang around for hours by the windows doing some inane bullshit like sweeping or watering or mowing the lawn for the billionth time. Is he snooping? Does he just feel incomplete without hanging by my windows for a few hours every day?
Idk what's up with that but it feels pathological

What I really don't understand about housing is that it's treated like a business and not something humans need to live. It's inhumane.
The US constitution says we have the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. You know what's required for those things? A place to live. Homelessness in itself is unconstitutional. And don't we all agree that everyone deserves a place to sleep? Don't we all agree that we don't want people on the streets?
Banks and landlords should not decide whether or not someone has a place to live.
Let's think about it this way.
This is the reality for a lot of people.
You owe money to your past landlord? Even if they lied about the circumstances? Sorry, no one can rent to you now because that money is more important than your & your kids' safety and going homeless. They "can't help it", they need their "business" to prosper, not you. They're not gonna get their money paid back any faster – in fact, now you have MORE expenses & it'll be a slower process.
Maybe the company that owns the place is worth millions and they won't be hurting at all without the money. Doesn't matter. You're going to be punished since you couldn't help make them richer. Their lives matter more than yours, sorry.
Now you're either couch hopping, living out of your car, or out on the streets. You have to find a way to pay back your landlord instead of saving up for another place. Now let's say you're on disability like I am, or in between jobs. You're having trouble getting someone to hire you or getting on any assistance because you no longer have a mailing address. You only have a few hundred bucks per MONTH to survive off of.
Maybe your landlord agrees to do a payment plan, but now you have to choose between having food & your other bills paid for or paying them a minimum $150-$200 a month, that they want delivered to them in person every time. Now you assume someone will rent to you because you have proof that you're paying it off, but you're losing money on application fees because they still won't work with you. You have to somehow come up with the money for the applications, a down payment, and first month's rent while also paying back your previous landlord in the off chance that someone MIGHT rent to you after you've already blown $300 on application fees.
Your landlord made the decision to make you homeless.
"Well they have to add that stuff to their rental record!" that record is only kept to work with other landlords to make sure that no one can have a place to live unless they're profitable. They're contributing to that system.
"But landlords need a way to make money too!" Here's a tip: find a real job. Owning something and receiving passive income from it is not a job. Your tenants are busting their asses at their real jobs just for you to take 1/3 of their income so you can live comfortably knowing that other people's labor is paying your bills.
EVERY HUMAN DESERVES THE RIGHT TO A PLACE TO LIVE.
Landlords are a class of people that should NOT EXIST. There is no reason we need a person that stands between us and owning a house – just to tell us what we can and can't do in the place we're paying for.
"But I can't afford a mortgage and need to rent!"
You're already paying off your landlord's mortgage and MORE. The housing market is the way it is because landlords drove the prices up. And this is where it's the bank's fault as well. You can't save up for a down payment because you're paying off someone else's mortgage; you can't get approved for a home loan because with the price of housing you have to be able to qualify for a larger amount than before, or maybe you happened to have one or two unexpected life events that lowered your credit score. The banks decide that their profit is more important than human lives, too.
The vast majority of us are only a couple of missed paychecks away from homelessness.
We can't keep complaining about homelessness while ignoring the root cause of the issue.

Nothing's funnier than when landlords refuse to let people give their own friends and loved ones housing and act like it's bc they're concerned about their tenants dealing with "freeloaders" like babygirl that's you

Why is it “apartment shopping” and “apartment hunting?” I’m not getting any boons out of this. I’m getting ripped off by some guy overcharging me for a room or 2 and often times poor or nonexistent maintenance.

oops went off on my conservative gran again last night because I called to complain about the housing market because I'll never be able to afford a place to live again unless my salary magically doubles and nobody is paying that much. Naturally she decided to bring up my rich uncles the Dallas slumlords. me: I just wish I could buy property because I hate renting. I'm so sick of funneling all my money into the pockets of the greedy rich landlords. I wish we could stop them from buying up all the property so that people like me could afford to live.
gran: What about all the people who can't afford to buy property?
me: if there weren't all these landlords monopolizing housing, it would be more affordable.
gran: But that's what your uncles do. They buy up apartments and get companies to run them.
me: I know. that's why I don't get along with them so good. I really don't like that they're slumlords.
gran: UPH! Ah! Yuh—you can't say that! And you love your uncles!
me: Actually I haven't gotten along with uncle 2 very well at all since 2020 when we were at their house for christmas and he had the audacity to complain to me —who was literally homeless at the time— that he wasn't allowed to kick out all the tenants who were failing to pay rent during the pandemic. While he was drinking a $400 glass of whisky at his lake house where he keeps part of his luxury car collection.
gran: he didn't say that.
[#gaslightgatekeepgirlboss]
me: he did. I didn't say anything at the time because I didn't want to start a fight at christmas but I'll never forget it.
[I also made a post about it about 5 minutes after it happened because that's what you do when you've spent your whole life being gaslit by your family.]
I actually found out they were slumlords back in 2017, another time I was struggling with housing. I was talking about my struggles and Uncle 1 jokingly offered to let me rent a place in Dallas for a discount. He jokes like that all the time. One time he offered to buy me a car when mine was breaking down. Haha so funny. But this time I was so desperate I didn't realize he was joking. When I earnestly asked him if I could do that he immediately backtracked and said "you wouldn't want to rent the places we own." "I would though," I said. "I just want a place to live." "No," he said, "the buildings we own are run down and in bad parts of town." Like... buddy. My guy. Mine uncle. I'd just spent the last year renting a house where my next door neighbor kept 6 broken fridges in her front yard as lawn ornaments, my backyard neighbors beat their dogs, my front yard was a parking lot, and the abandoned house at the end of the street had creepy dolls in the windows. The absolute inability of the rich to comprehend or even acknowledge the struggles of the poor eternally flabbergasts me. And crazily enough I'd just had the exact same conversation with a rich christian guy from my church in Oklahoma City who owned slums there. Funny how I know so many people who own so much housing and yet they always look at me, a hard-working young pretty white girl (at the time) who should never have to face hardship according their f*cked up white supremacist prosperity gospel worldviews, and immediately confess that they're slumlords. It's almost like this is a systemic problem or something.

ALAB D&D Pt 2
Again taking heavy inspiration from @bleached-d-soul ‘s ALAB AU
Mercury: Ok I’m gonna throw a rock at the toilet.
Adam: Why?
Mercury: It could be a mimic.
Adam: That’s ridiculous.
Ruby: Make me a rock throw roll.
Mercury: 18
Ruby: The toilet grow teeth and tentacles! It’s mad you hit it!
Jaune: Huh…who knew Mercury’s paranoia about mimics would be right.
Ren: Mercury and right aren’t words that belong together.
Mercury: Less snark, more killing this abomination.
Ruby: Why does he hate mimics so much?
Jaune: The first game we played a mimic was pretending to be a pair of pants
Ren: Fill in the blanks.
Adam: Still one of my best ideas yet.
Mercury: Get bent Taurus.
