Sorry you're too daft to even engage in this conversation.

The housing market for rental properties doesn't just exist. It is is explicitly financed by the profit motive of renting, e.g. as real estate securities for the well-off upper middle class, or more likely, huge real etate companies. Now maybe there are some parts of the world where building companies just throw up houses and landlords scalp them off (suburbs in Australia I think) but I don't think that's the case in general.

I'm sure one day a capitalist will come across this board and will be really hurt by all the activism and praxis in your idiotic posts. Keep fighting on brotha ✊

Don't woosh me just because your meme is retarded.

I'm saying they're not the same thing.

For the analogy to work there'd have to be some prior market of housing that landlords buy up the second the market opens, and then "resell" (nevermind that renting is more than "access to housing"). That's not really how it works though.
