Lolol, lets compare that to capitalism numbers. Don't forget to compare suffering too, since everyone seems to overlook quality of life, injuries, and slavery, in favor of just one sliver of the many metrics of deaths. So, don't forget to calculate the indirect deaths caused by capitalism too lol

Because now they are draining income from tenants without providing services. Landlords don't work, but get money, not just from thin air, but from the people who live in those places. To pay enough for the landlord and the property manager it requires more money than just a property manager. Not to mention landlords have no one stopping them from just increasing rent if the laws don't stop them and they raise it with other landlords (which is happened right now). What are people going to do? Move? To another place that's just as expensive? Plus moving is expensive by itself.
I see what you are trying to say, but its missing huge chunks of what's happening in actuality.
That's a property manager, not a landlord. Property managers work to manage the properties, landlords just own stuff and get paid to tell property managers to do it all for them.
I prefer the analogy of not having a heat sync/fan. In a ice cold room with an external fan? Works wonders. Anywhere else? Overheats. Once you overheat you have to take time to cool it off and possibly fix what broke.
It's to play Ark: Survival Evolved.
The word "Blast" needs to be removed from all news. They literally have to have writing classes to get their job, and their vocabulary is seemingly limited to what a five year old would use. Probably some psychological reason they use it lately, like infantalizing the news so it's not taken seriously on purpose or something.
Remove the peoples trust/value from it. Make societies (even small scale households/towns) around a currency-less system with things taken care of by each other using no money, just an agreement (it's how communities used to work for thousands of years before capitalism, so it's completely do-able). Or use a new money if you wanna start the failed capitalistic orphan grinder up again. Essentially starve the currency from trust/value to people and its value goes back to what it was, nothing. Money has no intrinsic value so if you make systems outside of that currency that stops people from requiring it, all the made up value goes back to zero.
Publicly paid for rent free housing. Not group shelters. Full on housing. That's literally all it's ever taken. Season on some free mental and medical Healthcare and you've got a recovery sandwich. Even if they don't end up fixing their lives, the amount it costs the public to just give them this is cheaper than it costs to have the police harass them, build anti-homeless infrastructure, and repair damages caused by the unhoused from defecation or public property damages. The other one-two punch is fixing economic problems, which rent caps, unions, minimum wage being a living wage tied to inflation,, and changing fines to imprisonment for corporations doing crimes will fix a lot of that.
It's too bad this can't happen while corporations can buy the government with "donations" and lobbying (legalized bribery), and massively benefit from homelessness as a way to force people into exploitative work, or imprisonment for cheap legal slave labor (See 13th amendment). Only way I can think to fix that problem is to remove the source of their power, which is to pull money out of the equation. Essentially building communities that work together without money like we used to, though the government has standing orders to kill or break up people who try that (see Malcolm X, M.L.K. Jr., or places like lake Lanier).
Should report them on eBay too. Force eBay to stop allowing this behavior!
