I have a lot of conflicting ideals behind the ethics of "Renting"
It feels as though, one who is collecting money from people for essentially "taking up space", in cities with literally no alternative seems unfair and unethical.
A lot of landlords in larger cities price rent high as they possibly can, and each year, the cost of rent increases as the demand goes up.
Is this ethical? I feel this is akin to modern day forms of slavery or ownership of people, perpetuating a lower-class trap, where fortunate owners of land or real-estate have the freedom, where anyone who doesn't, is trapped in a wheel racing for the next dollar to stay safe and sheltered, and no time to focus on reflection or the inner work.
Would it be considered ethically wrong to be a landlord? Or be charging unfairly high prices to people using space, just because your in a high-demand area?
I was wondering what quotes from Samael or other great masters say about this, to further reflect on it.
