Anyone with a mediocre amount of business sense or anyone that actually owns / owned (or pretends they own via a mortgage) real estate knows exactly how terribly difficult it is to just keep everything running.

This alone explains why reddit and such have no damn clue why renting is so expensive.

Why is it difficult to keep things running? Keeping the plumbing, electrical, and building amenities in order is part of your legal responsibility. Don't like it? Get a real job. People HAVE to have a home. You don't HAVE to make money off it.
