What is the downside of the scenario where only the rich can afford to own houses or land? After all historically, the rich owned the land and just allowed the poor to live there.

You can't think of a middle ground between runaway antibiotic resistance and taking away poor people's houses?

There is. Just as the GP was responding to a comment about meat availability and not just wanting to end meat consumption.

>That's part of the problem. You wanting the burger has all these negative consequences for humans, animals and nature.

I'm not seeing how that context makes your comment make more sense. I am not seeing that they were charged with any kind of unreasonable extrapolation along the lines of "wanting to end meat consumption," nor why that would create context that sets up your dichotomy.

Now it sounds like you're saying you know there was a middle ground but were saying it anyway to make some kind of rhetorical point, but I don't know what rhetorical point you are making.
