> The only way to rent a place is to rent it from an investor.

You mean in the Netherlands? Because I never had to do that in my country. I'm not aware of places where the only landlords are investors.

I think you are missing the point.

All landowners are investors. They bought the property to make money. That makes them an investor. Maybe not a coporation but an investor.

Surely the Dutch are not using your proposed definition, because that would make zero sense unless they wanted to turn the Netherlands into another Chernobyl exclusion zone. That seems unreasonable, so they must be using a different one.

It is the definition we use. This is just gonna create more kafka tier stuff for people to deal with, its not gonna end housing if Amsterdam decides it only wants multi millionaires with privately owned overly expensive houses in certain areas.

Lots of student and young people housing is owned by non-profits around here. My whole campus was non-profit.

Investor or parasite?
