If you decorate it really nicely, the landlord can kick you out, and rent it out for even more money!
I’m a millennial and all I can say is I’ll squat in one of those empty houses before I accept this.
Damn straight. Even my boomer home-owning parents called me up to tell me it’s cheaper to rent than buy right now, and frankly, fuck that. Renting is still basically like cutting my paycheck in half and throwing it out my single-pane poorly-insulated window. Sure, I get a shitty roof over my head, but that’s it.
I know a way to make it feel comfortable, but it’s so much harder nowadays to get away with murder and drugging people to death.
Oh and those pensions you might have heard of? That’s just an old wives’ tale, no such thing for you.
The problem with being a long time renter, is that there is no guarantee that the real estate will always be available to you.
What if your landlord sells your house/appartment and the new owner wants to move in? What if the rent hikes eventually make it unaffordable for you.
Unless you own the property, you cannot plan with certainty for the long term.
Well, then precarity is also bad for fertility. No one wants to have sex or have kids when they’re permanently a month away from homelessness. And that means after the alphas, we might see a severe labor shortage for our landlords and industrialist masters.

Yeah, it’s not just Zoomers. It’s so many more than just Zoomers.
Well, they’re not wrong. If I had known I’d be in the same place after 10 years, I would’ve made myself more comfortable.
