I don't understand how it advances the conversation to say that, without backing it with some level of analysis (even if minimal, back of the envelope kind) of what you'd do differently.
> The onus of finding a solution does not have to lie with the people pointing out the problem.
It very much does. In most circles it is not considered productive to simply be negative without offering any potential ideas for improvement.
I basically acknowledged that my view contradicts itself. People need the option to rent, but rent-seeking landlords are terrible people.
> What's your actual solution proposal?
I literally, word for word, said:
"What's the alternative? I don't know. But I don't need to have a solution in mind to point out the problem."
The onus of finding a solution does not have to lie with the people pointing out the problem.
