Honestly tho. Imagine simping for landlords in this day and age. Gross.

I’ve rented, and I’ve owned. I prefer to rent, if that means I simp for landlords then I guess I simp for landlords.

Dude it's in the fucking name. What serf wants to be a fuckin serf?

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Both renting and owning are costlier because of the parasitic landlord caste.

It means you're an idiot. Objectively. Which is why I'm going to make jokes instead of trying to convince you. 🤡

It depends on location. Some places have good rent control, so rent tends to be cheaper than buying.

NYC rent control magic is a special situation but you're still paying forever. You get an asset at the end of a mortgage. Can you imagine owning in NYC?

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

NYC isn't the only place with rent control.

And just so we're clear, "cheaper to rent" means that after the 25-30 years that a mortgage normally lasts, you'd have the money to buy a home without a mortgage. If what you have in savings is less than the value of the home you would've had, then it's not cheaper to rent.
