you do realise that supply and demand are just the enabling factors that cause landlords to be able to extort as much they want, right?
Of course I do; that's the fucking point.
The question is, do you? If you want to stop landlords, you do it by fixing the supply problem so that landlording stops being lucrative!
do you know why we have scarcity of housing? because capitalists profit from it.
No, that's a lie. We have scarcity of housing because the government literally prohibits expanding supply by law, because the NIMBYs demand it. The vast, overwhelming majority of those NIMBYs are not landlords, but instead merely owners of the single property they live in who want to eat their cake and have it, too.
thats why i am advocating from moving away entirely from a profit oriented financing model and private ownership model for housing.
You're advocating for bullshit fantasy that will never happen, at the expense of any solution that's actually realistic!
