Yeah, the short of it is if you are a landlord and you're not undermining your own industry by encouraging tenants to become owners of their own personal property, then you're not community minded in the socialist (own the means of production) sense. There are exceptions, like one case where a rapper bought a poor neighborhood but did so to keep rent hikes and evictions from happening, arguably giving those families more stability so they have a chance to build family wealth.
