I don&#x27;t understand why people think that &quot;making as much money as possible is the most important thing in the world&quot; is a convincing moral argument. You could, for example, have argued that wealthier tenants lead to rising property values, which means the landlord has to raise his rents just to break even on the property taxes. That would have been a coherent argument that absolves all individual blame. Why would you <i>lead</i> with &quot;greed is good&quot;?<p>(And, again, I&#x27;m not personally saying that either the tenant or the landlord is at fault. I just don&#x27;t understand why, if I&#x27;ve just been driven out of my home and I&#x27;m looking for someone nearby to blame, I would choose to pin it on the new tenant <i>instead</i> of the landlord.)
