      Are you against roads?

      Do you use the sidewalk without paying a fee to a private entity that helped develop it?

      Housing doesn’t have to be a scarcity market. I don’t anyone is complaining about people who own a house, but people are complaining about companies and individuals who own 10,000 homes.

      Ummm more like “scalper buys ticket first and now you can’t, then charges way more for it.” And “landlord buys houses first, now you can’t, and they charge more to live in it than you would have if you were able to buy it yourself.”

      They’re pretty much the same

      How about we compromise on paying them the cost of entering the land into production. Just cut out the “unearned income”.
