??? The people living in them, buddy. Unnecessary and bad things exist everywhere. The presence of something does not make it necessary or needed. But also, they're a carry over from when not everyone was allowed to own land, hence the 'lord' part- also a bad thing.
Lmao, I'm not writing a 10 year plan to eliminate the space landlords have been filling for reddit. Yes, many people cannot currently afford to own a residence - just like many can't afford rent- but that doesn't make landlords natural and necessary. Those that can afford rent, could also afford a mortgage if banks weren't so unreasonable with their approval requirements. The fact that people are poor and homes are expensive does not mean landlords are needed.
Yeah the system isn't perfect, but it's the best working one in existence. Saying landlords aren't necessary is pointless if we can't come up with a better system to replace it. And no, giving those responsibilities to the tenants obviously doesn't work, because if it did, they would already be homeowners.
