What exactly is your argument here?  Why is he a horrible person?  Because he rents houses?<p>There&#x27;s nothing inherently exploitative about renting homes.  Owning a home in the US is within the reach of most American families.  So lots of people rent because they chose to.  Some people prefer the flexibility to move, don&#x27;t want to do maintenance, or prefer to live in higher density areas where personal homes are less common.<p>People who rent real estate are just providing a service, and a critical one at that.  If nobody rented places to live, then we&#x27;d have a lot of homeless people in the world.
