Landlords provide a service

do scalpers provide a service of letting you go see a concert?

It’s no different to renting a car

cars depreciate, houses do the opposite

also, nobody has ever had any issues with the car rental industry

Were cars as scarce as homes

golly i wonder why homes are so scarce

landlords are leeches because I don’t like them

good thing "i don't like them" hasn't been given as the justification for anything then, isn't it?
