Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?

  Builders provide housing. Landlords are nothing more than a middle man.

    Builders build housing. Then they sell it. Rental property owners provide housing.

      They literally do not provide housing. If they did, there wouldn’t be a housing shortage.

        There’s a housing shortage due to not having enough housing for the people who want it. Read the dozens and dozens of articles over the past decade about how the United States hasn’t been building enough housing to keep up with demand.

        Families don’t live together like they used to. People are living longer. People don’t want to live with others.
