    Being a landlord is a job.

    Because society agrees it is. Society also once agreed that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction with no factual indication to.

    Maybe I need to make it even simpler?

    I asked you to explain the logical holes in your ideas, you ignored them. Funny you think the problem is that those simple concepts go over my head when you’re refusing to explain away basic logical problems.

    It’s not exploitation because people have a choice of where to live.

    That does not follow logically. You have a choice who gets to exploit you, but unless you have the capital to purchase housing, you are being exploited.

    This is simply because renting prices are effectively almost exclusively profits for the owner of the rented space. Nobody is generating an equivalent in value through work. When people say they’re the main breadwinner in their landlords family, that is actually the objective truth.

    This would make sense if we were talking about something that is inherently optional for anyone to purchase.

    We aren’t though. Housing is a basic necessity for everyone, and the hard reality is that working full time does not mean you can afford to purchase housing, so you have to rent or be homeless. It’s exploiting specifically the poor because they can’t purchase housing, so they have to make a choice between renting or being homeless (which is also the more expensive option).
