I don’t think just because people are landlords that makes them bastards though. We’re letting a house out and I think we treat our tenants well. We don’t rip them off, we fix stuff when it’s broken, and since we have a fixed rate mortgage our costs haven’t gone up in several years and so neither has the rent.
Henry George's ideas will catch on again someday, hopefully.
Facts that concern me:
As a former property manager my motto was rent until you can own. I hate the 4 percent rent increase in la. Even if there’s more income it’s impossible for young people to save and I hate it.

That's the point. It's why I always laugh whenever someone says "they're a business and they need to make money!"
It's like, that money is just going to the landlords of their employees more often than not. We can hopefully see how that rhetoric is a roundabout way of defending the profits of people taking advantage of us.
The working class has really sold itself out.
