@JessTheUnstill Agreed. It's important, though, I think, in the process of getting to that conclusion, to see that individuals generally rent for retirement income rather than wealth, where the (many foreign) corporations who've bought up most of the housing and let it sit empty for appreciation over time are a bunch of people just doing their jobs, making profit for shareholders.
The problem is that passive income makes more than wages. That's a systemic issue.
