    Maybe housing shouldn’t be an investment?

      It shouldn’t be - but ill tell you right now that no one will be a landlord unless they can make money from it, and people who move out of home at 18 won’t have the money saved to buy straight away.

      Make no mistake, I don’t like the housing crisis and its causes either but I know rent caps isn’t how we fix it long term.

        Why do we need people to be landlords?

        Housing coops and government-owned housing work out fine.

          Yes they could - but they aren’t being used.

          Plus, you know, that’s socialism or communism or something else people don’t like for some reason.
