ID: A Sophie Labelle 4 panel comic featuring Stephie in different poses, saying:
Landlords do not provide housing.
They buy and Hold more space than they need for themselves.
Then, they create a false scarcity and profit off of it.
What they’re doing is literally the opposite of providing housing.
For that to be true you need to be living in a place where price/rent has not doubled or even quadrupled in the past 10 years.
I live in such a place. This is obviously rent gouging.
It’s also the sad reality in basically all places world wide that aren’t in the middle of nowhere.
People sometimes even spend over 50% of their paycheck for rent and most consider this normal.
Hence the downvotes on your comment.
