New incentives for landlords may come to light.

Free market is utter nonsense, let's make bulk buying illegal, cap rentals for individuals, and create a state company for housing construction. The current system stiffles real economic activity as it harms all workers. Real workers.

Everyone knew where rent controls would lead. Its too late now. The damage has been done. You cant undo it because it has gone so far. Damage they could have fixed at any point since they brought in RPZs and rent controls, but they woudlnt lift a finger when it might have made some difference.

So they give with one hand and take it away with the other the next time the wind blows west.

Who would ever enter the rental market as a landlord now?

Even REITs are getting out at this point.

You couldnt pay me enough to be a landlord.

Oh lord. Where do you start with this comrade.

Private builders are building estates only to near completion sell off the bulk to large entities rather than deal with individual buyers. Laziness and handyness over good practice for normal buyers. This should be illegal.

Or is it your assertion these companies are putting all the construction costs up to the builders part..

Because access to leverage and cash and risk are all free, gotcha. Tell me again, how do I become a landlord without doing a days work?

What major infrastructure projects has the government built on time and budget? The children's hospital is going to cost over a billion Euro, we've €300m spent on Metro North and nothing built, any council built developments have taken substantially longer to build than private developments.

The free market might be utter nonsense, but communism failed spectacularly in every guise people have tried. So what other systems actually work in the real world?

Someone gave you the capital to start. The rest as they say..

You mentioned communism. It's the go to for people that like to scare people.

Very original btw.

Government bad, communism is wanting some fairness in any thing. And the free market solves all problems. Its like a script

Legacy wealth. No no wait. You did everything yourself always. All the time.

Leaving home at 18 nor having aspergers means you didn't get given a property or inherited something btw.

No, but the "personally I have no legacy wealth," part does.

We don't have a landed gentry here with hundreds of years of wealth accumulated from offshore holdings in the colonies or slave trade. We were the slaves.

I worked through college to pay my fees and rent, got a job related to my degree, bought a house, then over time bought another and rented the first to students who haven't a hope of buying a house at their age.

Where is the legacy wealth in this situation?

Can you outline where I am misunderstanding legacy wealth and how it would still apply in my situation, leaving home at 18 and working ever since.

Once again. You've inferred because you moved put at 18, You didn't get any assistance , financial housing or assets from anyone.

You could have moved out and into your dead grandmother's house I'm sallynoggin for all we know.
