I bought a house so I don't have to worry about that. My only landlord is the federal, state, and county government. If I don't pay their rent "taxes" then they will evict me. But it sure is not Wallstreet
why buy a house? It will never sell in this economy.
Depends on the location of the property and personal circumstances.
My parents were children of the Great Depression. They were ownership adverse and rented. They had shoe boxes of rent receipts and cancelled rent checks after a lifetime of renting.
If someone is looking for optimal ROI, the stock market has outperformed real estate over time.
Still renting, just better perks, depending on where you buy. Sometimes the hidden gotchas make it not worth it. Don't pay that tax or utility bill or many other fees. Plenty of news articles on this.

You think there is a difference? Who do you think the largest investors and shareholders are?

Your government leverages their revenue (your taxes) by borrowing money from Wall Street. Wall Street is your ultimate landlord. Just ask to good people in Detroit, Stockton and eventually Puerto Rico about that.

Your county will sell a tax lien on your property to the highest bidder. As the owner you would have ample opportunity to redeem your property before the owner of the tax lien could proceed with foreclosure, especially in judicial foreclosure states.
Some here seem to take issue when property / tax Liens are sold to the highest bidder.
So you don't like it when properties are sold to the highest bidder and you don't like it when the admin considered renting out some properties as affordable housing?
I don't recall saying anything you just stated. You are being way too topical and superficial.
Affordable housing and redevelopment is a whole other topic. I am not a fan of PPP's.

What? That makes no sense.
If you're saying local taxes constitute 'rent', then find a place on the planet with no local taxes. And good luck with that.

Sounds like sour grapes to me.
This kind of thing is acceptable to you? There are numerous fees "claimed" to be owed to a govt agency that entitle them to take one's so-called property. I don't recall any grapes either. That isn't even including some of the other ways property can be taken, if someone has plans for it.
