“living off of your property” is shorthand (and so maybe we should be more explicit) for “living off of the production and labor of other people who need access to your property to do that labor”.

So yea, i think it is exploitative to restrict access your property to someone who would use it to reproduce themselves each day (a home) or would use it to produce other valuable goods and services (a job) and to require that person to pay you for access (that home again) or you’ll pay them wages less than what they produce (that job).

And i think exploitative is inherently bad.

I was saying to myself “404 has done so much important reporting on ICE in just the last week. I wonder how i can help them do that work.” Then i remembered that money can be exchanged for goods and services and signed up for a year

If only…

They are paying rent still.
