    No one’s born a landlord. It’s not comparable to race in any way. Comparing racism to being against unregulated and manufactured housing scarcity feels like a really bad faith argument.

      Okay, ignore race, consider only religion.

      People are born into a religion and are free to leave it or embraced a different religion. It is completely in their choice.

      Similarly, people can be born into a family that owns zero to two properties, are free to acquire more or sell what they have. It is completely in their choice.

      Why is it okay to judge one group by the actions of “a few bad apples” and not the other?
