Communism has seemingly infiltrated real estate! You might think I’m kidding, but the new Marxist woke ideology has quietly seeped into our culture in ways you can’t even imagine.

The idea of no evictions might sound great – after all, who wouldn’t want to say, “screw landlords,” right? Affordable rent and rent-controlled apartments should be more readily available, shouldn’t they?

But hold on a minute! Let’s start with the concept of affordable housing and rent control. Isn’t it convenient that every city in America with supposedly affordable housing (or a waitlist that’s out of control) also happens to have the least affordable housing? Isn’t it ironic that cities like San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and LA boast affordable housing programs and initiatives, yet their housing remains unaffordable? It can’t be a mere coincidence.

Here’s the simplest explanation: governments tend to use public money inefficiently. When governments manage affordable housing programs, they often become cumbersome and unaffordable for both the city and renters. Forcing landlords to build affordable units against their will leads them to accept tenants they’d rather avoid, which increases costs for market-rate units and landlords alike. That’s why much of the affordable housing ends up in poor condition. Landlords are reluctant to invest in units that bring too many headaches.

It’s amusing that places with the freest real estate markets tend to have more affordable housing options.

What they’re not telling you is that they’ve closed down essential psychological wards and put those individuals into affordable units, which disrupts communities. These people need help, not just free homes.

These policies are creating a class of people caught in an unending cycle, one they may never break free from. It’s important to recognize that this cycle appears to be deliberately perpetuated by their own government. While the idea of affordable housing and eviction bans may sound compassionate on the surface, the unintended consequences can be severe. Instead of empowering individuals and families to achieve financial stability, these policies can inadvertently trap them in a cycle of dependency, making it increasingly challenging to escape the confines of affordable housing programs. This raises questions about the true intentions and long-term effects of government interventions in the housing market.

Lastly, let’s talk about evictions! Marxism might be rooted in jealousy, but communism strives for equality. When you prohibit evictions for years over minor issues, or delay evictions for extended periods in cities like NYC, and allow felons, drug addicts, and the mentally ill to live in affordable units without rehabilitation, you create a hostile environment for real estate. I urge anyone reading this to look into what HRA in NYC is – it will astonish you.

The moral of this story is that communism isn’t just making headlines through news, education, or police reform. It’s creeping into communities through the guise of affordable housing. Let me make this clear: the notion that landlords are inherently bad is misguided. Most landlords are ordinary people trying to cover their mortgages, provide decent homes, and make a living. The majority of landlords are responsible and caring individuals. However, like everything else in the world, a few isolated incidents are used to fuel fear and hatred, misleading the public into thinking that most landlords are villains.

Here’s a newsflash: if you want cheaper rents, you’ll eventually realize that the real problem isn’t the landlord but rather the government.
