Here's the problem. Second homes (one that is lived in part time) tend to increase property values of the area where they are. Additionally, short term rentals also increase property values. On top of this, that is a home that is unavailable to folks who live there full time. This compounds to create a higher barrier of entry for people that want to purchase a home. Rising property values and nearby short term rentals also increase long term rent for people that live in the area. This isn't even to mention negative impacts on the environment, an additional tax burden for the area the second home resides, or additional carbon footprint being created.

On top of all of this. If you are renting a home to another person, this is exploitation. You are demanding money for providing something essential to modern life and increasingly to even exist in an area. Rent prices have also become a cabal and are constantly increasing due to landlords fixing rent prices. I think being a landlord is unethical, but they are necessary with the way housing is structured today.

We require massive revisions to housing policies and zoning laws, at a federal level, to solve these problems.

TL;DR Second homes are bad but there isn't a lot we as individuals can do about it right now.

I agree with not buying them. I'm simply saying that Blizzard pulled the rug from the people that bought the first game.

I agree with you that it makes a person a POS, but it's also necessary in our current system. It would take so much change to fix this.

And now it's $40 for a skin. What's your argument? Lots of people already bought the game and were forced into the current system.

I might be on the fringe here, but I think second home ownership is always unethical in any economy. It is, however, a necessary evil in our current society.

Edit: I don't feel like responding to everyone, so I'll elaborate a bit here. Profiting off of something another person requires in order to live a happy/healthy life is unethical. In the current society we live in, landlords are a necessary evil. This is broad strokes, there are fringe scenarios where one might end up with another and not use it for profit. To be clear, I also think owning a second home to live in part time is unethical as well.

I mean, you'd have to be a special kind of dumbass to think that.

The new owner used to be in charge of the misinformation best at his old news room. Now he makes fake news.

It's the new ownership.

There was no primary.

I've seen you say that a few times here but haven't seen an argument. I'm just curious, why do you think that?

I'm sorry that happened. Some people just don't love Freedom as much as they should.

I think you're cool.

This just leads me to have them unread forever.

Yeah, "blasted." It couldn't have been a shorter, weaker, speach. Pathetic.

Get pest control there now. Give your cat a flea bath. Clean everything very well. I had to deal with this once and it was a months long ordeal. If you catch it fast, you might avoid this.

I always hurt inside when I remember Majesty. It's such a cool concept that could be expanded much more today.

You're correct, I had to look into it myself. It was struck down by a judge in April. Looks like it was changed to be allowed, but not as a formal lesson.

My area is red in income required and home prices. Yay!

Florida, at least. Probably a handful of other states in the US.

Come on, you know adults don't like things that taste good!
