Mikey Taylor and his Far Right Connections

[j....soy.....]

there’s a big difference between being a landlord with a few properties to rent out and horseman who buys up multiple buildings in low income neighborhoods, kicks the people out of their homes, renovates them into luxury apartments and raises the rent 6 times the amount. it’s fuckin evil

And there’s a difference in quietly doing that shit and dragging in through skateboarding like you’re somehow helping us…….

How many skaters are landlords?  Tons….and they shut the fuck up about because no one cares…..

Landlords, airbnbs, vacation homes, Zillow, etc are all proof of a broken system which places a burden on the future of humans.

Houseless humans could all have homes but instead we displace them because we’ve deemed them useless without understand their own issues. Capitalist society works it’s media outlet to deem those who don’t comply, as not trying hard enough.

If you’ve ever had or know people that have certain mental health/social issues, shits hard enough as it is. I feel safe in assuming the people who made it out of nothing did it on the backs of others or are grossly exaggerating where they came from. Fuck our current systems in place

There are plenty of unused houses in Baltimore City that could house thousands of houseless individuals.

No one wants to fund it. Literal whole blocks, both sides of the street 30+ homes. Large 4+ bedroom rowhomes, multiple blocks in a row, abandoned for as long as I can remember.

I agree fuck the current system. No one wants to fund fixing people because they don't see value in it.

i could not disagree with you more - no one wants to fund the system because they see great value in it being exactly the way it is and trending worse.

your job gets you to stay because you need money and benefits. they threaten you with other workers from the class beneath yours taking your spot. the class beneath you is killing themselves to hardly survive, so obviously you want to avoid purposely putting yourself in that situation. in order to keep those people at work, we need a class below them that has fucking nothing and is very visible. the system relies on having a class of people to step on and another class to grind into dust. it’s an evil world and the mikey taylors of it will do everything in their power to ensure that nothing changes for anyone “beneath” them.

[Goodcurbs]

Probably what Hitler was thinking.

I refuse to watch any video Mikey uploads, but I did see the caption on his last post and I guess Shimizu and Strubing don't run UWK

I do think that these companies buying up all the houses to rent them is a problem, but are ALL landlords bad? Am I an asshole if i decide to rent my current house out when/if i buy a new one? At what point does renting our properties become bad? Serious question. I see a lot of people who use the term "landlord" as a pejorative and I think i know what types of people they're referring to. I also know a handful of middle class people that are technically landlords that arent rich, still work full time jobs, and just rent their previous house out as an investment property. I just want to know where the line is drawn, or if the second you decide to rent out your old home you become an evil person.

again, these giant real estate conglomerates are a huge problem especially in conjunction with Zillow/air bnb, this shit needs to be addressed. I'm just genuinely curious about where/if a line is drawn between them and regular ass people trying to prepare for their future. Please keep in mind that markets are different everywhere and where i live you dont have to be a millionaire to buy property, even now.

Renting a former property doesn't make you what Mikey and his likes do. Hell, even being on your third home renting the first two are still in okay territory. Its the people that are buying (residential) properties for the sole intention of being a (residential) landlord. Buying whole blocks and then price fixing the rent. I get that landlords will need to exist in some capacity because of the way the market is set up and the banks etc. But owning 10/15/25 properties is a bit much.

I get in the situation of renting a previously lived in property at some point might create profit/or at the very least some liquid income. But that is playing the long game.

At least for me if I were to buy a new house right now, I would likely need to sell my current house to unlock built up equity to have the resources to close on a new house/show a bank I am worth a larger mortgage.

[close]

ok this was good to hear haha. having a couple homes is basically my retirement plan and people were starting to make me feel like i was doing something wrong for planning that. fuck a 401k, fuck committing to this "market" which is basically just a tool the rich use to syphon money from the lower classes.

[close]

What the hell do you think owning numerous rental properties from which you are able to "retire on" is doing? Profiting off of basic human needs so you can live the comfy life, right on, right on.

So how should I ever plan to retire?

landlords of almost any size (sans like, renting out a room in your house or apartment in your building) are still hoarding a resource everyone needs to survive and selling it back to the lower class with the sole intent to profit and bleed them dry

no disagreement there. i’m too poor to buy and helping my parents through their financial troubles has absolutely destroyed my credit. somehow lucked out with my landlord and my place is rent controlled, which was his idea. he owns a few places in my neighborhood which is being gentrified very fast. he’s pretty much the only one who hasn’t raised rent here on any tenants in like 20 years. great guy. my neighbors place is almost 3 times my rent for the same size house with a smaller yard. i guess moral of my story is there are some, but very few good landlords out there.

I do agree It's the investor bro real estate influencer guy trend. They're everywhere. All over YouTube, all over social media. All the same rich people getting richer. They all have a way for you to send them money. Capitalize off the housing crisis and economic crash and so blatant how the campaign running to help homelessness. What has Mikey Taylor done for homeless people other than exploit them through his campaign propaganda? I really don't care about his white power ties as much his campaign against homeless people. Like I said before, his plan is to get rid of em, not house em.
.

[Lou Strux]

It’s more than acceptable to care about BOTH his “white-power ties” AND his position on the homeless population.
They both stink.
You can smell this dude’s long term political ambitions through the screen: he really thinks he’s something special.

He's using the right wing accusations as propaganda for his campaign on his Instagram. I think voters want to know what he's going to do about the homeless crisis. That's what he doesn't want to talk about. It's crazy listening to influencer bro guy talk about homelessness. These real estate guys like meet Kevin, financial education Jeremy etc.  They're psychopaths. Never spent a day without a dollar. They're plans for the poor usually involve some sort of dehumanizing plan based on zero experience. He's a scammer. I can't wait to hear his plan now that he says that homelessness is part of his three point program.

Woof, so many comments that have me feeling ways, but I don't want to deal with the hackery of replying to them all in one post.

To the people claiming homelessness is simply an issue of having a home - have you ever actually worked with the impoverished? Actually dealt with their literal insanity or their addictions? Addicts and the insane aren't reasonable people. What about the truly bad apples, I've met more than a few homeless POS's who would still be POS's with a home.

I did a decent amount of research into the Seattle homeless issue, and the shocking thing I found was the majority, like 3/4s of the homeless had been on the streets for a decade or more. Sometimes it's a choice, however bad the logic is.

I agree that existence is a right, I don't agree that people should get the benefits of society without any of the cost, and that includes me paying your rent. I worked 80-90 hours a week for 5 years to pull myself out of poverty and now that I'm here I'm supposed to feel shame? Nahhh

Ugg, I hate topics like this because I have so many feels but can never articulate them without sounding like a scrouge. I just think it's fairly ignorant to look at Horseman and call him a racist who hates the homeless just because he's gone real estate bro. Dudes just making cash - be mad at the ***** negotiating your deals.

What's the alternative to the current real estate market? Everyone gets a free house? What about on the beachfront, who decides who gets those houses? What about repairs, that free too?

AFFORDABLE would be a decent start.
We can talk about free after we get this whole “for the people” part of govt. back on track, but let’s start with a reasonably achievable goal for now.
And I say this as a land lord.

The plan is that you live out of your car and rent a storage space for all your belongings. Storage lockers are a lot easier to maintain when you can deprive people of water, shower, utilities,. Depend on Starbucks for restrooms. Make sure there are charging ports for all EV drivers while people living out of storage lockers don't have anywhere to charge their phones. How are you supposed to do anything if you can't charge your phone? No bills besides gas when you're living in a locker.

are people in the us not common with solidarity, a core concept of christianity?
this hustle and grind mentality is terrible and showing the worst side of people, as seen in the comments. fuck prod and jeron!

investments in public housing and more psycho-social care are things which should be pushed more if you you want an sustainble and long-lasting solution to fight homelessness, crime and poverty.

Why is that “cringe”?   Nothing wrong with someone talking about their interests on their own page.  Maybe it’s igniting some insecurity in yourself?

There was a recent WTF podcast with Sam Quinones and he talks about one of the effects of this super cheap meth that plagues  these areas (aside from an apparent fascination with collecting bicycles - truly!) is that they don’t want to leave these areas.   If you gave them shelter, they’d likely abandon it and go back living on the streets.
