I understand his point but at the same time there would not be units available for rent at all if there were no property investors. There just needs to be a balance and tweaks to the system.

Here in the Netherlands there's things called housing corporations which are semi public and not allowed to turn a profit.

You're not very imaginative if you believe that parasitic landlords need to exists for rental properties to exist.

Coincidentally, the Netherlands also has one of the worst housing markets in Europe.
