So the point you kept missing I’ll throw you a bone man.
Someone can afford the home you’re in. This “strategy” is only effective if everyone’s on board. Otherwise a new family will be in there on the heels of your feet.
I’ve got half a dozen units on my block that are selling above the clearing price. They’ve been vacant for years. This is speculative real estate. The only people who can afford it are the developers and investors looking to accumulate housing stock on the gamble that someone will be able to pay the markup at some point in the future.
We just had a major rental catrelization scandal, by which landlords collaborated to keep vacant units prices above the clearing rate to deny their tenants anywhere cheaper to move.
No, I didn’t say that. I said a family of 3 is going to take your house if they can afford it and you’re too busy making a point to pay rent.
This is true. So not sure what point any of what you said serves, though you’re not wrong.
Also, my grandma lived inna building where 90% of the tenants did this, came together and made their demands and refused to pay rent all together.
They were all removed systematically.
Not saying it never works, but it’s alot for the average working class American to risk.
Why do you think anyone can afford these homes?
I’m not arguing with you clearly you’re just missing the point purposely or trying to strawman and move goalposts.
Obviously people can afford these homes or 100% of America’s middle class would be homeless.
Reads like a Ben Shapiro rant.
Why would states need to implement a vacancy tax on speculative properties if people could afford them?

We’re talking about rentals, dude. If the families could afford to buy, they wouldn’t need to pay rent.
