because it's not supposed to be a job, it's an investment
Housing is a human right, not an investment.
People who play "number go up" games with basic human needs can eat shit.
how do you expect houses to get built when there's no money to be made at all by it, especially when there's an immense amount of financial risk and work involved in maintaining a building and dealing with issues that come up, especially tenants who abuse the place and/or surrounding property
You build the house, and then you sell it to somebody that lives in it.
Novel concept, I know. May need some workshopping.
I don't have $250k+ to buy a house outright, but some guy is letting me stay at his place for a few hundred bucks a month while I save up. I might be onto something...
