The system is made (in theory) to promote productivity. We work to build stuff that other people need and our quality of life as a group goes up. People need housing, so someone can figure out how to build housing and sell it at a profit. That makes them productive and they do well and they provide a necessary service. If it’s not profitable, they won’t do it. And there won’t be houses for people to live in. Conversely, kidnapping people is unproductive and unfair. So as a group we’ve made it illegal. Things like universal healthcare have actually been found to be productive my most countries. As have social assistance programs. It would be nice in some way to include housing and food and phones and internet access in that, but people really do need to be motivated to work. We need people to be productive or else we won’t have the housing, phones, food, medical services available to anyone!
Landlords don’t just take in rent as profit. They have expenses for maintenance, property taxes, insurance, etc. if you could buy a house presumably you would so as to avoid having to pay for a landlord to get his cut. But renters usually can’t buy, so the landlord fronts the money for the house and takes on various risks. There is, of course, a change for them doin that. That’s the only way renters can get housing, unless governments just give people stuff for free.
funny thing about basic human needs. You can mark them way up because the alternative is freezing to death in a ditch.
“things are worth whatever people will pay”
Then why is it illegal to kidnap people for ransom. I only ask for the fair price of “whatever people are willing to pay”

so you’re saying, we need landlords leaching off working people, to force them to work harder?
What a shitty opinion. why don’t you send me half your income so you are forced to work harder.

can’t buy houses, because landlords jack up prices. artificially raising the demand so houses are unaffordable.
you created a crisis, them profit from it, then praint yourself as the hero of the story. delusional parasite.
And things like government provided housing has also been found to be productive.
You know, in case your a fucking ghoul a need proof of productivity before saving someone’s fucking life.
Imagine people not having to worry to be homeless. How can the fucking ghouls survive?
