I feel like I’ve seen this elsewhere. I checked a week back on this community and didn’t see it, so hopefully it’s not some repost my Swiss cheese brain just forgot about or missed.

      If landlords and everybody selling things can collude to raise prices with no formal structure, then why can’t workers do it too?

      Landlords fund politicians. The opinion of a tenant? Not relevant.

      You will pay infinite dollars to live.

    That market would look a lot different with negative incentives against owning so many properties that you yourself don’t even live out of.

    Their market is a product of an artificial scarcity which undermines the true supply that exists in most modern housing eco-systems.
