Greedy renters is not the reason here: in the original article the author considered building a house for workers on the company land. But that turned out to be too expensive.
Building houses and maintaining them in livable condition is not that cheap.

- maxsilver 6y ago> Building houses and maintaining them in livable condition is not that cheap I don't really understand this. Building and maintaining houses (especially single-family houses) is really cheap. (We're talking like ~$600/month or so for a large 4-bedroom home). The expense in housing is primarily financial shenanigans and land monopolization, with some property taxes on top. Actually building and maintaining a house (construction + maintenance costs) is way less than 50% of the total cost.
- AlexTWithBeard 6y agoPlease see the original article where the author explicitly complains that cost of building their own house is too high.
