This is an interesting point to bring up and bears addressing.

See, the problem with “things being too expensive” is that it’s a vicious cycle. Rent is too expensive, which means renters need more money in order to pay their abusive landlords. How do they get that money? Well, they charge more for whatever product/service they provide. Now that’s too expensive.

Something has to give, somewhere, and the first place I’d suggest looking is taxing the ownership class into oblivion.
