In pseudo-Marxist terms, what we are looking at here is a windfall. A gain someone makes without providing value to the market, free money.

Building a house is very expensive, this isn't an issue with developers, it's an issue with land speculators and so is far more pronounced in rural areas.due to inflation the monetary value of land goes up, which is just free money to anyone endlessly flipping vacant land.

And this gives rise to "rent-seeking" which is basically businesses inuring a fiscal loss to preserve their windfall profits. if a land speculator makes $100,000k for doing nothing, they will pay $80,000 to hold onto that unearned income. That's who pays senators, the land house. So you have land speculators actually paying money to drive up the cost of land, create barriers to buying land.

Anyone who thinks theft and communization is a solution is totally retarded, hasn't even read Marx/ Engels, doesn't even understand the issue
