Bad for making it so there are homes that people can afford.

Capitalism yada yada - people need resources in order to get homes, people will only construct homes if they get resources in exchange. These are just facts of the world - it sucks that building costs, but it does.

If there is demand for house construction, people will build houses as a service. No land ownership, or even no housing ownership does not change this fact.
*profit

Profit is stolen wage or stolen housing.

When profit is allowed for things that make people safe, housed, healthy, fed, or educated, those profiting are, imho, committing crimes against humanity.

Ok, this is a parody account. (Or someone with 0 knowledge of Econ 101) Time to move on.
