No, I think it makes perfect sense. Landlords arenāt bad people. Itās unfortunate that Social Democrats and SF continue to portray them in that way though.
Iād agree with you but itās the kind of guff he comes out with fairly regularly about housing, making it out that itās black and white, that the solutions are simple and it can all be easily solved (while opposing lots of projects) and painting it all as an āus and themā type gig.
I donāt fall for it and Iām glad you donāt either but Iām sorry to say that there are many many more who are taken in by it. Perhaps itās due to the the intellectual image he carefully curates which they feel the need to doff their cap to.
