They are a physical resource but renting them is subject to contractual agreements between parties because what is actually being paid for is a _right_ to use land not the land itself. A renter must provide maintenance of a property for example. Another way to think of it is to say that a taxi provides a service temporarily, not the physical car itself. Renting is similar.
- jsprogrammer 10y agoYeah, selling a right to use land is not a service either. It is literal trolling.
- onetimeusename 10y agoIf renting things is trolling then the world is full of trolls. If the solution to this is to confiscate resources for collective government to control, all that is being done is transferring the right to rent from one group of trolls to another. Then we have to start debating which group of trolls we would prefer to negotiate with. I already have my answer for that one.
- jsprogrammer 10y agoI'm not sure all renting is trolling, but I do agree that the world is full of trolls. I said nothing about confiscation, government control, or transferrence of (made up) rights.
