Aren’t you exploiting the economic condition that housing supply is extremely low, and a lot of them vote to keep supply low and prevent new builds? I’m not trying to be facetious but I find it hard to believe that landlords don’t exploit economic conditions.

Most landlords are normies that happen to own one or two extra homes. How could these people meaningfully "exploit economic conditions"?

"Normie" and "happens to own one or two extra homes" seem a bit contradictory to me... And doesn't everyone who invests in something that makes them money exploit economic conditions?

Maybe I’m just unlucky but about a third of the places I rented had landlords who owned at least 5 homes. My realtor owns a dozen. I think owning a couple of extra homes is ok… but at some point I feel like it’s a bit excessive. People struggle to own one, let alone a dozen.

If you have 97 flights landing at airport with 1-3 pax each and 3 full jumbo jets and you survey passengers leaving the airport, the average person surveyed will report that their flight was packed.

That's too broad of a concept to be useful. If you applied it like that then quitting a job would be rent seeking for the same reason
