The point he's making is that even though it's better it's still not great for the people paying the premium.

It all stems from why should I subsidize my neighbors rent?

The problem isn't that I wish to not subsidize it, but it's a matter that I'm subsidizing it to a much greater relative extent than a rich person living in his own brownstone he paid $10mil for.
