Nobody creates real estate, unless you're talking about those artificial islands in Dubai.

Got it, the buildings we live in are naturally created by the shifting of tectonic plates👌

Oops, I used the wrong word. I guess that means I'm an idiot.

LAND is land is not created, and landlords are charging rent largely based on the value of the land even though nobody made. Ownership of land is kind of bullshit anyway. It only came to be owned because at some point sometime took a piece of unclaimed land and convinced people around them that it belonged to them. All subsequent transfers of the property are therefore illegitimate as well.
