Mmmmmmmmmmm... I like the sentiment, but I don't think I agree. Real estate speculators are who you're describing, and they suck, but I don't think anyone would be shocked that they're like scalpers.
Landlords don't really care about hoarding or scarcity really, they're buying things to rent to people. Like blockbuster. I mean, letting other people live there is basically the point, it's not exactly hoarding...
