The Cost of Accommodation and Poverty

High accommodation costs are a significant factor contributing to poverty in modern society. Many individuals spend a significant portion of their income on housing, leading to a cycle where their disposable income diminishes despite potentially high earnings. This situation is exacerbated by the emergence of rent-seeking behaviors, where landlords profit from property ownership without contributing to societal value creation. The discussion suggests a shift in perspective from questioning why people are poor to exploring why basic luxuries, like hot tubs, are not universally accessed.
