You're missing the point.

Yes. It's financially suboptimal to do this. But it's destroying society.

And while this requires policy change to fix, policy change is still "SUBOPTIMAL".

Because young people cannot afford a home to raise their families in. Because enormous amounts of wealth from the productive sectors of the economy are being siphoned to the class of the landed gentry in exchange for no benefits to society at large.
