Someone also wants to rent out their kids as child labor, and someone will want to hire that kid. Doesn’t mean it should be allowed.

Kids don't have the same level of rights as adults to enter contracts to work. We do it because we accept that child labor damages education potential.

I'm an adult, if I never cook because I like to eat out, shouldn't that be my choice? Who am I hurting by choosing not to cook?

You cannot really be comparing housing without a kitchen in a large city like San Francisco to selling a person, right?
