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.

    Exactly, if renting wasn’t a thing, that means everyone unable or unwilling to buy a whole house has no other choice but to live on the street.

    The middle ground should be there. It, in and of itself, is not a bad thing, quite the opposite.

      It’s weird that people conflate renting or temporary but long term housing with “landlord”.

      Public housing accomplishes this without transferring money to a landowning class
