    I merely pointed out that not all ‘rent is bad’, ‘landlords are evil’.

    Among probably many reasons that housing is unaffordable for many is that some persons or corporations are awful scumbags that want to maximize their profit beyond what is reasonable or fair.

    Renting isn’t bad. Capitalism isn’t bad. Abuse of these things is bad.

      Abuse of these things is a core feature of capitalism. How can you contradict yourself so quickly?

          Shelter is a fundamental human need, locking it behind an unnecessarily high and ever increasing pay wall is the epitome of abuse. Landlords are leeches.
