    I wouldn’t say a house is a luxury. It is a necessity.

    Really the whole concept of renting is exploitative.

      Depends on the house.

      Really the whole concept of renting is exploitative.

      Yes, commodifying necessities like housing (food, water, etc) is a fundamental means of exploiting people. Rent is just one aspect of a much larger pyramid scheme based on human deprivation.

      A house is a necessity, yes, but not a house in the middle of San Francisco or New York.
