I visited my landlady every week and listened to her tell stories about growing up 90 years ago in the house I live in. I made double portions of dinners and brought half to her. She made me cookies from her mom’s recipes. I called her kids when she seemed disoriented and I stayed in the hospital all night with her when they weren’t sure she would make it till morning. I stayed with her when they brought her back to her house so she could look at her garden a last time and I held her hand while she passed.
There are nice people everywhere. There were nice aristocrats who lived off the favour of the courts, whose wealth was also stolen.
Look, I’m also considering renting my house out for a very low amount to a young family and living in a garage when I’m older, but at least I know I’m taking advantage of a system that gives me unearned advantages for getting in on real estate early.
I don’t need anyone to defend me. I have actual privilege.

Not all landlords are bad.

Have you apologised for your privilege today?
What would that accomplish?
I just try my best to pay it forward while being aware that my situation is due to luck
It was a joke
Ah, I was being serious.
