For every heartfelt lament, there’s a mainsplainer waiting to put you right. I won’t name the guy, it’s the argument I want to explore. He wrote:

What's the problem? He provides housing that you rent. What exactly is the issue apart from your own jealousy?

Jealousy. Right. Rachel's sitting there thinking, Gee, if only I too could own 50 houses and extract rent from my fellow citizens. Then I'd be happy.

It’s not jealousy. It's the lament that we’re now living in a country where home ownership is becoming a hereditary privilege, where young families pay 60% of their income to service someone else's retirement fund.

The landlord with 50 houses may tell you he's providing an essential service, that he's housing New Zealand.

Yes, but also: nope. The houses were there already. What he’s done is insert himself between the houses and the people who might have owned them, collecting a toll for the privilege.

You buy a house. You buy a second. In 10 years those houses have doubled in value. Tax-free money. You leverage that equity into four more houses. Then eight. Then sixteen. Each purchase by someone like you helps to push the market that little bit higher, which makes your portfolio that little bit worth more, which means you can borrow more, which means you can buy more, which means prices go that bit higher, which means...

Meanwhile, actual productive businesses, the ones that make things, export things, employ people in jobs that don't involve collecting rent, they're gasping for capital like fish on a dock. Why would anyone invest in a risky venture when you could just buy another house and wait for the magic to happen?

There's a difference between a rental market and a rentier economy, between providing options and hoarding necessities. There's a difference between success through creation and success through extraction.

We've built an entire economy on the principle that houses should be investments first and homes second. We wonder why the young ones are leaving for Australia.
