Why did we give Hannibal Burress a pass on being a slumlord?

WTF? If he owns the property he can do what he wants? Did he abuse these people or something? From what I've (very) quickly gathered, he didn't - apparently gave them 2 free months rent before moving them on? Giving them time to find a new place?
If you rent, these are the risks you take?
Cmon OP reassess this one. You linked a tweet chain and then posted 4 words! What's your take ?

As if the vast majority of people who are renting made a choice to do so.
Lol, if you listen to the podcast there's no "bragging" in there.
And people's leases were up and he gave them 2 months rent free just to be nice. This thread is weird as shit, did you just see the words "landlord" and "bragged about kicking people out" and you just assumed he was the bad guy in the situation?

Yes, you own the means of housing and therefor should have your head cut off

You know how I know you didn't even bother watching the clip this thread is about?

Not only that, but he gave them 2 months to skip rent payments so they could save cash for the move.
He's no saint and he did uproot their lives, but he also didn't leave them helpless. What a huge overreaction this thread is.
Why are you bragging about not being Team Bernie?
#timetocancel
What do you propose? Should we make it illegal to own homes? As a homeowner, should I not be allowed to rent it out if I so choose?
More in the sense that this only got dragged up on Twitter because he made a joke about Sanders being too old to be President.
I don't know or care to know every detail of these people's lives no more than I want to know every sin committed by my cashier or waitress.
I would recommend investigating more of the world of housing and the politics that surround it beyond the liberal and right wing perspective.
Oh, before this is done I fully expect a 10-page debate on the evils of land ownership.
Ehhhh.... disruptive hotel tech is a massive issue and has contributed greatly to screwing people out of a chance to have decent and affordable housing - especially in cities or tourist areas. It's a big issue. To be fair, local and state governments need to be stepping up more to address it, but AirBnb is massively exploitative and damaging to local housing economies.
not agreeing or disagreeing but something being legal doesn't make it bad or good. legality is not morality.
Converting property to airbnb is pretty shitty tbh. Lots of cities and jurisdictions are trying to fight it
whether they had a choice or not isn't Hannibal's responsibility. Plain and simple.
What did Hannibal do to you OP?
I'm lmao at how out of hand "cancel culture" has gotten. Damn you hannibal why the fuck don't you give me free money! I'm cancelling you!!!!!!!!!
Ridiculous. You know many families rent houses, right? What you're suggesting would evict them from the homes they rent. Happy now?
