A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

100% they’re bad tenants. They’re also people who never want to own, they’re people that will never be able to afford to own. There will always be a need for land lords
Bad tenants and people who want to rent exist, but the rest I don't agree with
Well... No? You're assuming a system where you have to pay for housing.
Which is essentially every where, that’s life.
Sure, under our current system. But you said there will always be a need for landlords, which I take issue with. But housing doesn't have to operate the way it does now. There's a variety of ways to pay for people to have housing under a money-based system, like through taxes. The soviet union had housing cooperatives. Hell, you don't even need to go that far, housing prices are currently so high because we allow massive real estate corporations to buy up property to artificially inflate price. Government regulation on real estate as an industry would serve to lower housing prices. At the very least, make it so they can't just sit on vacant homes.
But that’s IF the government would build said housing. Or it takes it away from owners which is fucked. I’m all for government owned housing if they will build it and maintain it. It could lower housing prices and rents, your right if they build enough of them where needed
Only within a relatively recent stretch of history, before that you only needed to pay for fancy stuff (think pyramids or castles or whatnot)
Pay with money? No. But with blood when someone else decides they would like your home.
Yeah let's go back to that. Seriously.
Please for the love all that is good, let us go the fuck back!
You can say that about a lot of things, matter of fact now, you have to pay for housing, there is no fantasy land where you don’t and won’t in our life time
