Yeah, and there will always be a demand for temporary housing. Even if every person has property, tourists need places to stay, you'd need a place to stay if your house is leveled by a natural disaster, it doesn't make sense to jump through all the hoops of property ownership if you just want to be closer to mom's nursing home in her final months, etc.

The problem isn't filling that need, it's making a profit off it.

    under capitalism, almost nothing happens without a profit. If you're so sure the problem isn't capitalism, please explain to me how exactly you're imagining things should work.

    I don't know how you got 'this person is pro-capitalism' from me saying 'profit is the problem'.

    I said:

    The problem is the market, IMO, if not capitalism entirely

    but it seemed to me that you were disagreeing with my post when you said "the problem is making a profit off it." I could have misunderstood, and you were agreeing?
