Means is a form of entitlement. Free market economics creates massive inequality. That's the whole issue at stake here.

But the other side of the argument is that if somebody worked hard, and obtained monies, they should be able choose where to live using said monies. If i found out that wealth gained means nothing, and that the 'mob' penalizes wealth, then people would tend to create less wealth. Would society be worse off then?

I don't know but Europe seems to be doing OK

But this is self-contradictory. When you say "there is only a market price" you are saying that those with money are entitled.

But the money obtained through work has a meaning. "Entitled" means to demand without having first "worked" to obtain the necessary resources for said demand.

Welcome to exactly what's wrong with the system! We view somewhere to live as something you have to save for, work for, invest in when it should be a fundamental right.

What's wrong with the housing market is that a housing market actually exists. We should be working to provide food, housing and comfort for all people as a matter of course, not to make rich capitalists who already own most of the wealth on the planet even richer.
