A government landlord isnt telling you not to put nails in walls or preventing you installing aircon though


Granted this is a bit oversimplified...

Do you think that's a fair trade-off? Pay a lot of money every year to keep something you bought, under threat of eviction and/or jail, just so you can hammer some nails into the wall?

I'm all for paying for my share of external benefits derived from taxes, but is it fair to people who get priced out of their own homes due to gentrification or being bullied into it by the masses? (Strangers that they don't agree with voting for taxes.) I suppose I'm more interested in consumption taxes than taxes for just existing.
