    Can we stop shitting on landlords and start shitting on politicians that write the laws? Yeah landlords suck, but if it’s all legal they are not really to blame. If parking in a handicapped spot was legal for everyone the spots would be used all the time.

        In the end people still vote for these people, some states have much more protection for renters than other states. I live in a country that has a lot of laws to protect renters.

        There’s a reason why the USA still doesn’t have affordable healthcare but almost all other first world countries do have it.

            Because people keep voting for politicians that don’t want to change the current system?

              So Americans just decided they want worse standards of care and lower overall happiness? Like how the French collectively decided to raise the retirement age, right?

      If parking in handicapped spots was legal, that wouldn’t make you less of an asshole for taking the spot, for the same reason it doesn’t excuse landlords. I have no idea how you’ve come to equate laws with morality but breaking the law doesn’t make you an asshole. Being an asshole does.
