I’m not so sure. The knee-jerk reaction of the cynic in me is to agree with you, but I actually think it’s fairly unlikely that they own rental properties specifically. Many, if not most, probably own multiple properties as rich people are wont to do but, I would imagine that most of those are just “summer homes” or similar rather than something that is rented out as a “landlord” in the way most people think of it. It is possible that they could be investors in these funds, REITs, or other such vehicles which would make them indirect owners of these items.
It would be nice for Congress to make a report about it at least the percentage of congresspersons that make a portion of their income through commercial and rental properties and likewise financial investment.
because i would like to compare that report to their voting records on such topics. i mean if they come from a district where they own rentals and vote against public housing that is a conflict of interest especially if their voters are stuck in housing deserts.
Probably all of them
That “probably” is just based on complete ignorance. Don’t just throw out nonsense like this, especially when you have no idea.
Aw poor baby. Did I upset your rich overlords? Cry me a river.
Yes, because I called out your ignorance, that clearly means I must have rich overlords. Lol This is some batty ass shit.

AirBNB can be more profitable so I’ve read.

They are OUR reps as much as we are their voters.
