The Youtube comments sections of documentaries of rent poverty in Spain usually get filled with landlords complaining about how the government is taxing them to death, and how relieving them of such taxes would be the solution. Somehow they consistently get plenty of upvotes.

Bitch, if you were being taxed to death you would rush to try and sell those homes, and THAT'S what I want to see happen.

Selling property? Don't be ridiculous!

That might force them to change their way of life, and start contributing to society for a living.
