    The problem is not the landlord. They made it possible that there was a house to rent.

    The problem are other voters who prevent zoning laws that allow property that is cheap enough to buy.

      Landlords do not build houses, they own houses. Saying that they provide housing is equivalent to saying Jeff Bezos delivered your latest Amazon package.

      Owning things is not creating things.

            Well, didn’t they? They manage the risk that the construction of the house is profitable. You cannot build houses everywhere.

            If you don’t want landlords then you need public housing. That’s where the voters come in.

                Housing is only constructed because there are landlords. If the construction companies don’t sell the properties, they would become the landlords.

                How do you want the housing market to work without landlords?
