    She lives on the rent of her properties

    This is exactly the thing people have issues with. The whole “I am the breadwinner of my landlord’s household.”

      That’s why I thought she should just buy stocks and live off dividends instead. I mean, any investment has a rate of return or people would not buy it

        Yup, and housing shouldn’t be an investment. It can be affordable, or an investment, not both.

          Then you should support less zoning restrictions and lower development fees to increase the availability of housing.

            I do? But I also support laws that heavily tax owning secondary properties. Building more houses is not helpful if they just get purchased by landlords.
