I mean arguments like this are tricky, cause on one hand, buying property to rent out is one of the ways out of wage slavery, but on the other hand housing is (should be) a human right, so where do we draw the line?

I’d love a beach condo to use 2-4 weeks out of the year and rent out the rest of the time, but wouldn’t I just be inflating property value artificially, keeping locals frozen out of the market?

I also don’t really think the answer is all property being state-owned, but what do I know

No property is free to own, at least in the USA. All property owes tax to the state, and 99% of dwelling units needs utilities and upkeep
