So you're saying that in a capitalistic society, people with capital do better? Colour me shocked.

The landlord also takes on risk and responsibility here. Like any business, if they do a shitty job they go broke. If they do a good job, they make bank and expand their business.



They will go broke if they do bad job at extracting money from their renters, not bad job at providing value to them. Also: https://www.wsj.com/articles/landlords-were-never-meant-to-g... , privatization of profits and socializing losses.


Yes, same as any business. If you provide it for free you go bankrupt, if you charge too much you also go bankrupt.


No because you can't really decline to have a home if none of the options are good for you. If there are only shitty landlords then you'll be forced to choose a shitty landlord.


I can't decline to eat. Food still costs money.


Yes almost there keep going.


Instead of being condescending, can you just make whatever point it is you are trying to make?
