>You got lucky with the old owner. They gave you a sweetheart deal.

I shopped around and found a good deal. It including moving to a suburb with cheaper rents and still making sure I found something good.

But this is the market. Its not full of spherical cows, its full of human beings making human decisions.

I found humans who valued longevity over pure profit. This is not a unique scenario, people use rents as retirement income all the time. They wanted a consistent tenant, and the suburb I wanted to move to is famous for inconsistent tenants.

I valued low prices and outdoor space. We found a price we both agreed on. I know of other examples of this happening near where I live, it isnt unique.

Likewise, costs being passed directly to the renter, not unique.

LVT does not preclude these precious humans from existing.

LVT just punishes them more severely for doing so.


No, the opportunity costs are exactly as before. That's why LVT has no deadweight losses.


Its cool that someone trained an LLM on wallstreetbets and crypto discords but whoever did it can turn it off now please.
