You make that sound like anyone who’s able to rent a place is able to buy a place, but at least in the US, that’s not alwaxs the case. Sure the mortgage might be cheaper than rent in most cases, but being able to save up enough for that down payment takes a lot. I didn’t have the luxury of living with my parents after high school to save up enough for a down payment on a house, so I’ve had to rent places since then.
Sure maybe all housing should be free, there’s certainly enough homes in the US for that to be possible, but the rest of capitalist society makes that impossible, but that’s not the fault of every landlord ever. Some, sure, but not all.
