They won't say that out loud, but this is what they really think, deep inside of the shriveled cockles of their black hearts
Just because the cost to produce something goes up doesn't mean the product price needs to go up.
Yes and a price limit could be applied to oil there just isn't. This technically causes a "shortage" (which means something specific not just whatever you think) but housing and oil are complex markets and there's a lot of nuance. Also housing doesn't get consumed or ever move. It's not like the landlord can ship a building somewhere that rents are higher.
good thing "providing" housing costs nothing. it only makes money. you get the equity of owning the building and the rent. the cost of upkeep is always FAR behind rent. the idea that providing housing costs a huge amount of money is absurd. It's parasitic. If the people paying the rent, which is the upkeep and additional profit, owned the equity, they would also eventually break even and make money. Talking to people like they aren't smart enough to understand how badly they are getting robbed, isn't an argument. it's assholery.
a building is an asset, not a liability, it always increases in value, and even if it is burned to the ground on a higher than average rate, the land it's on remains incredibly valuable and an asset. the people living there are losing money. the people who own it are gaining money WITHOUT TENANTS. the equity goes up. period. that's why people go into debt to own the land. because it's an asset.
