I was thinking that you’d think some sections of the bourgeoisie would realize that landlords being free to increase rents constantly and with nearly no restrictions is fucking them over because it’s a constant pressure on them to raise their own employees’ wages,
but then I realized the bourgeoisie is all invested in mutual funds and shit and on average probably benefits more from rent and property value increases than they lose out on even when they’re forced to raise wages
I think on the whole, the goal is for workers to be in a precarious position so they need to work for capitalists under conditions unfavorable to workers. Making housing cost a large part of income helps with that. Basically like you’re saying. Looking specifically at money or a certain way capitalists make money doesn’t really help much because everything is interconnected.
that requires long term planning though and you’d think most petty bourgeois fucks would be like “Hey, these fuckin’ landlords, my workers want more money every fuckin’ year cause they say their rent’s goin’ up” instead of ing over the intricacies of class relations

Yeah but at a certain point you’ll just end up with people moving into shanty towns and dropping out of the economy almost all together, you don’t make any rent off of someone living in a tent.
With shit like Costco building a giant affordable housing complex in LA I think some of the haute bourgeois are realizing the petite bourgeois real estate Ponzi scheme isn’t sustainable. What people like Blackstone probably wanna actually do is throw up the capitalist version of commie blocks to milk Amazon slaves for their measly wages. But the US had a much bigger and more entrenched petite bourgeois class that’s blocking them from that so they can AirBNB their third property.
