on the flip side, I would question the premise that owning the building you live in is a good thing to begin with. why is it good for people to have so much of their wealth tied up in a single property? why is it good for people to experience so much friction in moving around and trying different neighborhoods/cities?
imo the american obsession with homeownership is the root of many of our problems. I also notice a common theme in these comments. most of the complaints about landlords seem to come from people who rent older units in highly desirable cities. my renting experience in a cheaper city with lots of new buildings has been quite different.
