    They act like everyone could do this.

    If everyone did this, the system would fail, because the profit here is scooped off the top with no actual production or service.

      The product/service is the use of the property for the specified time.

      How is this any different from renting a SeeDo for an hour?

      And if everyone did this when they were able to, rents across the board would be dirt cheap.

      It would also require everyone to own 4+ houses which isn’t exactly feasible

        It would require a lot of housing density for everyone to own four dwellings (and would kill rent demand well and good), but I wouldn’t call it infeasible. For everyone to have a quarter acre lawn and a 2,000 square foot house that shares no walls with neighbors? With those additional requirements having everyone own four is infeasible, sure, but a belief that’s the only dwelling worth owning is how we have throttled our housing supply in the first place.
