    I’m not going to argue with you. Shelter is not a commodity.

      Of course it is. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be able to sell it, take the money and invest in something else.

          I’m trying to help you understand. You want to insult me, and make moral arguments outside the scope of basic economics.

            Oh I understand. You’re the one doing the mental gymnastics to try and normalize a system that exploits basic needs as get rich quick schemes that just do happen to only be available to a select few that have the money to play. Even now calling it basic economics as if that system is inherent to existence.
