Sure, under our current system. But you said there will always be a need for landlords, which I take issue with. But housing doesn’t have to operate the way it does now. There’s a variety of ways to pay for people to have housing under a money-based system, like through taxes. The soviet union had housing cooperatives. Hell, you don’t even need to go that far, housing prices are currently so high because we allow massive real estate corporations to buy up property to artificially inflate price. Government regulation on real estate as an industry would serve to lower housing prices. At the very least, make it so they can’t just sit on vacant homes.
