This is a really counterproductive take, not because of the ways it's wrong about how rental income works, but because it paints a completely wrong-headed picture of whose interests are opposed to progress. People who own property they don't live on stand to make a lot of money under policies that allow them to build more and build denser. It's homeowners who are opposed. EDIT: Lots of propaganda in these comments painting individual homeownership as the cure for our housing crisis. It's not. It's the cause.
