Reply to comment by barsoapguy in Man claims self-defense in Providence landlord homicide by Rogue-Island-Pirate

You are correct. I would never do it again and the few people who do are beaten not only by the states laws that prevent them from maintaining their property but by todays youth who somehow believe landlords are some special class of evil. I want to say I made 4% on the money I got from rents. I would make more money delivering newspapers than renting out to what has got to be the stupidest, most entitled, generation this country has ever produced. 20 hours a week for no money just isn't worth the bother to rent to these people.

I have to think it’s a failure of the education system, the 20 year old kids can’t qualify or afford a 300K mortgage (because 20’s) so are forced to rent and are upset with high rents thereby vilifying landlords . Pushing for more and more restrictive laws that only push more landlords out of the market raising prices even higher.

Such a vicious cycle of stupidity.

I agree and have been watching it for years. These kids are shockingly stupid and can't even see the outcomes of their own statements. The news panders to them with articles like this also because it only takes five more minutes of investigation to look to see the court cases on this property. Evil squatter robbing property owner isn't a story todays young adults understand.
