That doesn’t make landlords the origin of high rents.

No, it has nothing to do with how landlords are parasites, it is just explaining that it isnt the voters fault that parasitism is allowed.

If people want less rent, it doesn’t help to oppose landlords.

It helps to oppose the landlord class and abolish the idea of rent.

Renters can decide elections.

The US is empirically not a democracy. Is this going in one ear and out the other?

The US is objectively an oligarchy based on many longitudinal studies. The problem is the oligarchy, which contains property owners.

I'm basing this off of real world data taken from socialist projects. Rent in the USSR was 5 percent of income for example.

They do not have 500 percent margins because capitalism is incredibly inefficient and they're only one small actor making money from the situation in a broader ecosystem of developers, construction companies, etc.

I'd rather pay five percent of my income in taxes and not have to walk by homeless people because they have somewhere to live and not have to worry about being homeless if I lose my job or eventually retire and have to worry about constantly increasing rent or property taxes on a fixed income than pay around a third of my income in rent so Brad and Karen can go on another vacation to the Bahamas this year.
