Well, two things can be true at once.
The very idea of land ownership and thus rent is, when you step all the way back, itself insane - and perhaps the deepest-set hook that the capitalist model has on modern society. That last part might be bullshit, but I'm a layman. Either way, we know how we got here, and we understand why things are the way they are, but most visions of Utopia view a living space as a basic human right. So yeah, it's kinda insane that it isn't a human right in a society as otherwise advanced as ours. That's true.
Also true: if you live in a capitalist society, and rent your living space, it's insane to attempt to just...opt out of the way society works and hope someone on Facebook knows the right secret form to fill out that somehow make that all okay.
