Land is special because it can't be made.
Land is special because it can't be made. Imagine that you land on some planet, with no way to go back. You can work remotely using the intergalactic internet. It turns out you're the second guy there, the first guy now legally owns all the land. He agrees to rent you some land for living, at the maximum price you are capable of paying. Isn't he capturing your labor? It's still 'beneficial' to both parties, because if you don't pay you will get legally killed for trespassing by police robots. That's the situation on Earth, except 'the guy' is 'older generations' and the homeless are generally allowed to sleep rough on public land in most countries. Also no intergalactic internet.

High housing costs is a key factor.
