    Do you disagree with something that I wrote or are you reaffirming my point?

      This part:

      They made it possible that there was a house to rent.

      Obviously.

        Well, didn’t they? They manage the risk that the construction of the house is profitable. You cannot build houses everywhere.

        If you don’t want landlords then you need public housing. That’s where the voters come in.

          No, most landlords just buy housing. Construction is usually a seperate business.

            Housing is only constructed because there are landlords. If the construction companies don’t sell the properties, they would become the landlords.

            How do you want the housing market to work without landlords?

                  There shouldn’t be a housing market, markets are inefficient, and you shouldn’t create winners and losers around basic human needs.

                    That’s what you don’t like. How do you want to organize housing?
