The idea that there are many lower level landlords in Venezuela is a joke. The main rental properties are fucking vacation spots for yuppies who want to come see the revolution in action or something.

Of course, Venezuela, unlike practically every other South American state, doesn't release the statistics for rentals vs ownership and whatnot. Because the revolution is an absolute failure. Mind you, they are probably collecting the data, it is important for social development, but I have to wonder what the people behind the scenes are thinking, as the figures are worse and worse. It's like the murder rate, keep it secret.
