    Until that world exists, someone has to offer rental properties to these people, otherwise where would they live?

    If all the available housing wasn’t bought up by people wanting an extra 20k a year in rent, they’d live there.

      If not landlords (and it often isn’t), it would be owner occupants buying them at equally obscene prices. Contrary to what the media might lead you to believe, something like 80% of housing units are owner occupant.
