It's a pretty sad situation that people can't afford 'rent'.

But in fact 'rent' means to tear, split, rip, etc, and that's exactly what it is. People who 'own' land, ripping money from people who don't. But, land is common heritage like air and water, it belongs to us all, and individuals should not be able to own it, or at least not to own and 'rent' it.

Rent is a ripoff, by nature, and in it's very name.
