So you are admitting that comparing it to farming was a stupid thing of you to say.

(?) No... It makes no difference to me if there was labour involved or not, what matters to me is the value.

About the public housing thing, how would that help? Isnt that just everybody (the public) paying for everybody else's housing? How would that make any difference?

I dont know anything about zoning laws but after looking it up it sounds pretty dumb, we dont have that here where I live (large city in central Europe).

Then you should be opposed to landlords. Because rent-seeking extracts profit without producing value.

Then housing is built for people to live in, not as an investment vehicle that is expected to generate profit. That brings down the price for everybody.

It also solves other social ills by drastically reducing homelessness.
