Soo ticket scalpers are better than landlords is what youre saying? Because id rather own something than rent something...

Housing is a need. Tickets are a want. Both are scalpers.

What do you own when you buy tickets from a scalper? Unless used for the specific event, it's just a piece of paper. And once the specific event is over, it becomes worth less than a piece of paper. The event itself is over within hours.

So its the same. You have to pay again and again to use it. But housing is a basic need.
