> No doubt the commenters will all jump in with "but waddabout this, waddabout that, so you want no homes to rent eh!?!". I don't care, my point remains - No, your point doesn't remain if other people have valid points that refute it. You're making a very strong statement which I imagine most economists would disagree with. Characterizing anyone who disagrees with this as "whiny" or something doesn't make it true - you just might be wrong (and probably are, IMO). This is especially weird since you're making a strong moral claim here - it's not even "we disagree about economics here", it's "we disagree, and you're evil for thinking differently than me".
