Semi-related:

After 31 years of owning the house in which I rent, my landlady is selling because the market is HOT!!! Today was Day 2 of 3 open houses to show off the 4 apartments and property.

I NEVER miss an opportunity to explain my unconventional place and plans which leads me to my personal story in a nutshell, along with expounding on the lockdown scamdemic, looming /s/FoodCrises and other "conspiracies" - thus the need for basement year-round garden.

The funny thing is, a year ago I think I would have run in to many more weird looks, however, I found that about 80% were in solid agreement (from micro head nodding to raised fists and "Keep up the good fight!"), and the other 20% were unreadable behind their masks. Zero disagreed (that I'm aware of).

you poor bastard. Its hard to make good soil, and to have your landlord sell the place out from under you must suck. Can you buy it?

It will only suck if the new landlord is not good. She was good, save for a handful of flaws.

I couldn't buy it if I had a million times my wealth. I scrape by month to month.

New landlord = higher rent.

Not in Canada. It's all controlled, for better or worse. Generally a slow erosion.
