And that's exactly the problem. If you're not proposing a solution for how to continue providing rentals to the people who need them, then you're not proposing any workable solution at all.

Your solution was "convert it all to owner-occupied housing" and I was pointing out that doesn't work because it ignores the needs of renters.

I explicitly said I don't know what the solution would look like because the change proposed is generic.

Give me a specific proposal for how to break the rentier economy, and I can probably give you a specific proposal for how to solve the problems it raises.
