I think most people who are against the rentier economy would agree that there is great value in all of those things, but that they shouldn't be a for-profit enterprise. One way to obtain that value without landlords is for the state to buy land, subdivide it, and build dense housing units available to citizens who live in them at a reasonable, or even subsidized, cost.

My issue with this solution is we do not even allow private entities to build dense housing. So we are breaking a market and then saying the state is the solution. I interact with the government regularly and I do not have faith in their capabilities to get anything done.
