It exists because someone wants it and is willing to pay for it and someone else is willing to sell it to them.
What makes you think you have the right to stop either side of that transaction from engaging in it?
- cess11 3y agoI'm not religious, I don't believe in rights as given by gods or nature. I also don't believe either debt or money are necessary for a decent society.

If the right to stop it didn't exist, there would be far more apartments and dense housing in these places that are zoned SFH.
- refurb 3y agoYour logic is “we ban some things so banning this is fine”. Thats an incredibly shallow argument. It’s so shallow in fact it could be used to argue for the ban of anything.
- pixl97 3y agoI mean looking across all humanity there is very little that has not been banned in one place or another. Banning things seems to be the one thing we're really good at.
