To be fair this isn’t specifically a landlord thing. This is a capitalism thing. And it’s happening everywhere and every day. From your grocery store to your pharmacy to your university. The essence of capitalism is to exploit all opportunity for as much value as possible.
This is the system humans have chosen to live under. And zeroing in on the landlord isn’t productive.
Humans didn’t choose it just like humans didn’t choose feudalism. They formed over time as production and technology got more complex, meaning society is bound to change again and again in the future as well.

Humans have chosen other systems, such as communism. Although that required action and effort, and those systems are arguably worse than capitalism.
Either way, doing nothing other than bitching on line makes it a choice
We are forced to live under capitalism and its exploitation. Landlords are part of the problem.
I’m not sure most of us really had much of a choice.
