I agree with you, fwiw. I don't get the hate for landlords either. There's just a large segment of the population that want to own a house and don't care who gets stepped on once they own it - which is really how we got into this situation in the first place. I'd much rather blame systems and regulations that make it hard for enough housing to be built. It makes zero sense to me that there are blocks worth 5m in the inner city, while houses in newbuild suburbs cost 400k. In any reasonable system it should be trivial to unlock value by buying the expensive block, sticking 20 apartments on it and selling them for 1m each.
