This isn’t a good analogy. And landlords like to delude and justify that they are not one of the bad guys to themselves. They say oh that’s just your experience with bad ones. No, the entire system is rotten.

If restaurants went round gobbling up the food supply and then the only place to eat was at exploitative prices, then yeah, all restaurants would be scum.

I think it's an apt analogy. You seem to be implying that all landlords are huge corporations that are gobbling up all the properties out there.

Individual landlords like myself are small time. I'm pretty much a mom and pop restaurant and you're criticizing me like I'm the McDonalds corporation.

I personally know 80% of my tenants and they've been renting from me for years.

Every house bought to rent to someone else is a owner occupier denied. It doesn’t matter if it’s big or small.

15 houses ain’t small time. You could house a small army. If you could sell them to your tenants, would you? Or do you need their blood?
