    Ie. not contributing any benefit (preventing access to a natural resource

    So a company builds a house. Instead of selling to the person who will live in that house, a Landlord purchases it at a higher rate (preventing acess to land + shelter) and then rents it to the person who will live there.

    The Landlord in this scenario has provided nothing of economic value, and is restricting access to shelter necessary for survival.

      People who rent are not generally people who can purchase houses

        Is the landlord profiting of the rent? Then the person who is paying the rent could afford the costs of the house if they didn’t have to pay rent.

          Not if they can’t get a loan they can’t. Not if it’s a fucking apartment building.

          Seriously you guys are gonna have a weird time in the real world.

            You’re so concerned about people using a term incortectly, but you’re failing to follow the conversation. What was said was:

            So a company builds a house. Instead of selling to the person who will live in that house, a Landlord purchases it at a higher rate (preventing acess to land + shelter) and then rents it to the person who will live there.

            So I don’t know why you’re bringing up apartment buildings. Looks like you’re the one that needs to work on comprehension.
