    That’s a real job indeed. People do keep houses clean for money. But they would usually need to keep multiple houses clean in order to pay out one house’s loan, not a single one. That’s just too much money for too little work.

      Yes. And this brings to mind common kneejerk solutions that say more than a few houses should be illegal to own. Of course more than 100 is a whole different class of fuckery that should be addressed separately.

      But mostly I just lament that something got so perverted. If it weren’t for asset inflation, and I forgot to mention unequal access to mortgage, then instead of all housing being universally shite, there might be a decent market, one where innovation and improvements happens, instead of “what’s the bare minimum I can legally get away with?”
