once again, trying to shift the onus for a solution away from the 1% who caused and perpetuate the problem

Exactly. Not sure how slum lord flats are the solution here, when investment firms are sitting on millions of empty homes.

how slum lord flats are the solution here

they're a solution for building owners who can't find tenants to lease their office space to. they don't actually care about the peasants who can't find affordable homes

That's kind of the definition of a slum lord, though, isn't it?

instead of "tenants" i should have said "badly run businesses that nevertheless have tons of capital to blow on office space"

Ah. Sorry. I misunderstood 'tenants' in terms of the civiz who would rent the tiny flat, and not as the businesses who would rent the entire floor.

Who do you think owns those fucking buildings with office space?

The same investment firms. That's my point. They own too much, and need regulation.
