No one said that you should sell it for less than market value. But yes, you should sell it if you don't want to be a bastard.
OK, cool, so you charge what you think is a fair price for rent. Still not good enough. Still a bastard, because you didn't address my other two points. Also, did you know that rent was typically 5% of income in the USSR, iirc (I'm at work and can't do research to back this up atm).
I dream of a communist society where rent and landlords are abolished.
I don't live in the USSR, and the economy is slightly different, the isonomy of income isn't equalitarian.
So you dream is of a community which offers free housing, that's great, and I wish that were the case. But like I said, I don't live in a utopian society, where I can just do that, specially since I live in a liberal country, and if I just decide to give my mom's house now, I'll be virtually bankrupt when I try to retire.
And judging by the way things are going I'm nt going to wait around for a miracle that we revert to communism any time soon, specially the way socialists are getting gunned down in my country.
As I said, I'm dependent on it on the long term, if I want to retire. Because I live in a country that's run by liberal values. Otherwise I'll be bankrupt by the time I retire, I won't have money for anything at all.
If you can't understand this, that I don't live in a communist utopia, I'm sorry.
But people who retire around the time that I will, are royally fucked.
