This argument has always struck me as wild. My landlord provides me a service; I get housing and don’t have to do or pay for any maintenance. This also means I don’t have the bulk of my savings tied up in a house.

There are unethical landlords and sleazy real estate developers, like there are bad actors in any field, but to suggest that it’s inherently unethical is preposterous. Is it unethical to make a living by selling food because food is also a basic need and a human right?
