> Every house owned by a landlord is another house not owned by an owner occupier. And every ounce of food owned by a company is not owned by a person. Oh right, that's why we allow people to produce more food. As Communist China discovered, getting rid of landlords doesn't magically house more people. That just makes it harder to move to areas with more economic opportunities and ensures that any home that requires significant renovations will end up completely uninhabitable. You can offset this by asking the state to fund more housing development, but that still requires you to allow for housing development.
