You misunderstand my argument entirely. The problem isn't that society loses because you don't let someone pay rent in your home. Society loses because you don't let someone else live in your home for free, but you do let yourself do that. This is the value you extract from owning the land, which nobody else can extract.


Apologies, I misunderstood your exact meaning. But I think you misunderstood my point that 'society loses' is a non-sequitur in any case.


Who lives in their home for free? I didn't know that was possible. Children maybe.
