A different story but Detroit had an issue with housing and laws that prevented certain people from buying homes, getting mortgages, applying for well paying jobs all while getting abused and sometimes killed by the police. Some of those people revolted, not all, not even a significant number. They burned down everything, including the homes they could not buy and it brought down a city.
I could absolutely see this happening again because of abnormal rents. These landlords are going to upset enough people to the point when the group with no hope for their future just starts burning it all down. Why should they care about society when society doesn’t care about them? Fire is so easy to start, and as Detroit found out, so hard to stop.

I feel like burning down a place… they’d have insurance to cover rebuild and lost rental income. It would be the renters who would suffer meanwhile.
