    But I’m different. I’ll be the benevolent exploiter and all my employees will be happy and we’ll have parties in the break room all the time.

    I’ve been personally thinking about ways I could use my future earnings and financial status to give back in addition to advocacy/volunteer work and giving to mutual aid.

    I don’t have the legal or real estate knowledge to know how to actually make this happen, but I think there is space for a model where people could use their ability to get a mortgage to build/buy multi-family housing and lease-to-own it at-cost to a housing co-op in a type of Ulysses Pact that will create below-market-rate housing.

    I envision some kind of standard contract for something like this akin to open source licenses or most housing rental agreements, so that it’s easier for more people to emulate a similar setup.
