Yoooo!! Finally!!! I remember seeing the scars on a whale from their hooks as a kid, and being amazed that something like that could exist. Finding out no one had ever seen one alive devastated little 2nd grade me lol

Interesting. Well, community is a common word lol

It's usually used to refer, non-specifically, to people that live around you. You'll see it in places like "community gardens" or "community centers". The usage on the Internet is pretty recent, linguistically, obviously lol

I like the idea that they're not just symbols, but shapes. Get anything to be shaped like a rune, and it'll touch magic. So two rocks leaned against each other just right might create a trickle of water, or a tree that grows a twisted enough web of branches could, by chance, summon a flame. Then, like with all natural phenomenon, people figured it out! It fits well with the trope that wizards are arcane researchers and scientists, you find in settings like D&D's

For example i know a few people who buy places and fix them up to rent out. Are you saying they should get their properties taken away?

Treating housing as a commodity is part of the problem for sure. I believe all humans have a right to safe shelter. No one's income should come before another person's life.

That said,

If you're only referring to billionaires and corporations buying housing, i agree.

This would be the practical way to do it anyway. Some guy that rents out a ski chalet isn't commiting some terrible crime. It's charging people to live in their own homes that's wrong.
