We live in a (mostly) free society where they can accept what you're offering or they can buy from someone else.

Great recap of our society today!

As society becomes more complex, larger groups such as corporations and private equity groups will benefit from regulatory capture and rent-seeking behavior. 

Look, society has to be paid for from somewhere.

You get to experience community in a way that no other part of society lets you experience.

How about paying people's rent, thus spreading the cost onto society as a whole, rather than confiscating landlord gross income (85% of which goes to expenses)?

In a recent debate, I quoted a source from the Casualty Actuarial Society that jokingly referred to beachfront property as a "pre-existing condition".

People here are from every segment of society and it reflects that.
