Oh yeah. Not only landlordism, but landownerism, people who care about “property values”. Half of land owners are actively workers and half of landlords came from the working class. Overall, it’s like the renting LA is paying dues to the land-market so that it is valuable when they buy into it. Not like this is a conscious action of individuals, it’s just how the relationship between rents and land values works in the US.
