Landlords dont provide any services. Construction workers build the house.

if there were no landlords people would still have 1 home and builders would get hired by the homeowner who could finally afford homeownership.

We have more empty homes in America than homeless people.

The market is not working because its failing to respond to the demand of more than 90% of the population for affordable housing despite us having more supply of housing than homeless people in need.
