Why is being a landlord any different than owning some other commodity to make money? Like if I bought shares of a company that pay a dividend. Or I bought a car and rented it out. Or buying land and selling tangerines I grew on it
That's the neat part. Housing doesn't need to be a commodity, it can be a right.
Fought over since before most "commodities" existed , and maybe most religions -at many scales from the world, to countries, to a sopt by the river bank, or the comfy chair in the living room - including by various human and non-human species.
Pursuit of economic and political power though control/acquisition of land just has so much glorious and colourful heritage; it's no mere pleb of a commodity .
Something most everyone could use just a little bit more of.Not everyone could use more cars and tangerines.
cars and tangerines have a generally more competetive market of sustitutes.
Land doesn't really have substitues.If i could build a house/farm out of tangerines without any land needed, i'd get your point,
There is no difference. Many people here just do not like the concept.
Oh, are we ready to talk about the morality of options and stocks?
