Most landlords don't build new homes to house people. More commonly they compete with owner-occupiers to buy existing property. Remove the landlord from the story and the renter may well become a buyer, at a lower price.
p.s. Thank you for your comments in this thread and elsewhere - you have inspired me to finally read Henry George.
- branchless 11y agoReally truly do it. The best thing about Henry George is the way his love of fairness and humanity shines through. It's really rare now to read someone who is actually altruistic and an intellectual force. It's inspiring. ps you can tell he's a nice guy because he has utter disdain for rentiers, the enemy of all working people everywhere!
