      Right. Because murder is a heinous crime that rips a person’s life away.

      Renting out apartments isn’t in the same category as murder.

        it’s not that far off. shelter is a basic human right. landlords are parasites who profit off of that by providing nothing in return.

        if i could buy an “air lot” the same way i can buy land and houses and charged a monthly fee from people who want to breathe air in that space it would be ridiculously parasitic. landlords do the same with land instead.
