I pity the poor fool who stinks like I do!
That gentrification doesn't happen overnight though. I lived on Commercial Road about 25 years ago and it's still a shithole now.
Linking rent to mortgage payments would still result in massive inequalities by your example if some are paying a fraction of what others are, purely down to random factors like when they move into an area or what the prevailing interest rates are. Landlords need to have a cushion too, eg this year we had to replace the oven, fix the bathroom lighting and get some other bits and bobs fixed, plus we bought the tenant a new bed for the tenant's daughter- the old second bedroom had a sofabed.
No comment on you, just my politics, but I don’t think landlords should have a cushion. It’s an appreciating asset, not an ATM. In my opinion. And I’m a militant twat about it.
With regards to massive inequalities, yes. But less than what we have now, by orders of magnitude. Society isn’t fair. Everyone would want the cheaper properties, but that already exists. But currently we reward wealth and let asset owners take as much as possible from those that don’t own anything. Better is better. Period.
