I really, really want to see that Oreo meme you're talking about.
Also about not wanting to be tied down. I totally get it. You know what fixes that? Co-operative housing. Some links: https://campus.coop/ (Toronto) https://www.nasco.coop/ (North America) https://www.studenthomes.coop/ (United Kingdom)
These are housing cooperatives for the most mobile population: students. And you know what? No need for landlords what so ever, while still providing location mobility and the possibility of hiring an external management team or (using democracy) elect amongst yourselves. Again disproving your very point.
I really like housing cooperatives but we have way too few of them. As a young professional moving between cities it would be great.
What do you get from a landlord owning housing as opposed to housing cooperatives? (This is the [only] question I want you to answer)
I can tell you what you get from cooperatives that you don't get from landlords. You don't have to pay for an ROI for the landlord. That is it. Same maintenance costs. Similar price for home to start but better for the inhabitants.
Not relevant, stop using billionaires as a shield.
Again not relevant. To use your metaphore I don't want a space station and I don't want a hill. You on the other hand want a hill (and you being the king on the hill) but no space station. I say no to both.
Again I want that Oreos meme.
Well maybe it would be if people who "invest" in real estate don't oppose increasing or bettering social insurance. Those who are the biggest proponents of real estate investors are the biggest opponents of social insurance. Social insurance comes from general taxation of working people. Those people (like you) want to move the money working people pay to taxes for general social insurance and instead pay all that money towards rent that landlords (like you) control. You are literally moving money from general social insurance to your own pockets. And both young people and actual poor old people suffer. You do not oppose tyranny. You want to become the tyrant.
Another option is a Community Land Trust (CLT). Community owned land which is similar but under a different structure with a wider ownership structure. https://www.communityland.ca/ (Canada)
And guess what? With CLTs you can actually invest yourself if you don't live inside it, because a broader ownership structure and you don't have to be a landlord. Awesome!!! Oh wow!
Try it in your city! Here's one from mine https://www.oclt.ca/invest/ (Ottawa, ON, Canada)
