So let me get this straight, your landlord also owns every other apartment in your city. Simultaneously, your landlord is responsible for not building any more new housing. But also your landlord did build new housing, but it’s out of your price range so you are angry. Sounds like your landlord actually lives rent-free, in your head at least.

No the landlords that own the expensive tourist "rentals" aren't the same as my landlord, but my landlord DOES own 4 of the only a few apartment complexes in the area. My apartment complex is run by a property management company that is headquartered in an entirely different state. Most of the rest of the buildings in my city that house people are shitty 1920s homes that are rented out by small time landlords, complexes intentionally or otherwise meant exclusively for section 8 housing, or literal old age homes. It's more profitable FYI for a builder to erect a giant, luxury old age home right on the most busy street rather than build ANY actual housing, because the state pays them $10k a month to house you at the end of their life, and they pay a nurse $50k a year to look after thirty people a day.
