    I mean, this sorta bolsters the idea that livable space is rare and valuable.

    Of all of the universe Earth is the only place capable of supporting human life. Furthermore no human has ever managed to leave the earth/moon system, because of the extreme effort and risk required to do so.

    So… How does this make rent seem silly?

      Exactly. It’s rare and valuable. So a single person shouldn’t be allowed to own 12 houses and price gouge them.

      Everyone should be allowed 1. If you have a reason to need a second one, you should have to be approved and provide a really good reason.

      But nah. Let’s let one person own 12 because they were there first.

        My take is everyone should be entitled to one, then do whatever you want with what’s left.
