I'm not sure

Given how many data centers are going up id say a more equal comparison is if you've met someone who works in a university 😁.

Story about the work and underlying research in the video is here: engineering.cmu.edu/news-events/...

Never said everyone had to be profitable, but the chance for economic mobility is a good thing, else no one would attempt to be a landlord. Never said everyone is supposed to lose. Your words not mine.

Agreed. We also need to bring old buildings up to proper insulation standards.

I'm in the US so very different situation. Although in many cities like NY it's too expensive to buy

But they have a chance to be profitable...renters don't. Nothing in a life is guaranteed.

Okay, but my point in the original post was about renters versus landlords...not paying for things versus not. In this country, renters have virtually no protections

True. but renters pay money and landlords make money. My point in the first post wasn't about renting vs living in a box. It was about who profits off of others. Renters are one of the most vulnerable populations of people and have virtually no protections in this country

Especially since we live in a country without renter unions. Renters have virtually no protections.

I'll pass your sentiments to them

That phrase in the original post is from a real person with an accounting degree.

Ok
