    It’s not a dichotomy. It’s just a comparison. There is no suggestion that these are the only two options.

      It’s only presenting two options while there are more reasonable options than the two presented. But we could say it’s a strawman since it’s presenting a scenario of an evil landlord in an attempt to make the alternative seem more reasonable.

      Either way it’s fallacious logic and it’s all moot since free housing isn’t feasible. Another day, another leftist shitpost.

        You wanna name any of these alternatives, or are we just using the fallacy fallacy to wave away arguments we don’t like?

        Perhaps, as you claim, free housing isn’t feasible. But you can walk up any road in any street in any city in the world to find a real example of this “strawmanned” landlord.
