Most of you probably know the memes about homes not being affordable to younger generations. It is true, that they are, at least, less affordable as illustrated by Figure 4-1.

landlords are part of the issue. they dont simply provide a public service and get payed for their work and risk.
they sit on a vital resource that ppl need to survive and exploit that. landlords, especially big ones, extort as much as they can, consitently raising rents without good reason, while doing even less than the minimum amount of work.
no one is saying that everyone should own their own house but the landlord/renting model is exploitative shit.
really most of capitalism is like that but ig we notice it more when its so close to us.
