The goal of the market is infinite growth/acquisition. The ideal (for capitalists) would be rentism. The ownership class owns all housing/services and society would need to pay indefinitely, like a subscription model

The goal is for person X to make money, that's all. There is no grand conspiracy, it's just lots of assholes trying to make money with any opportunity they see.
Capitalism did not invent greed, greed was a thing before capitalism was even remotely conceived, so you will have these problems in any system with limited resources because that's just how humans are naturally. The sooner you can realize that more sense the world will make to you.

That’s what I’m saying, there is no nefarious plan, no evil billionaires, they are doing exactly what the market incentivizes. Human nature fallacy is just the same as the religion cop out. Any actual studies such as epigenetic research shows that humans are a product of their environment.

totally disagree. Owner occupied homeowners spend way more than renters on upkeep, decor, renovations, landscaping, appliances, furniture, paint etc etc etc.
There is a reason why owner occupied home ownership is tax subsidized by the government, because it spurs economic activity. Offers stability to the local economies and it actually better for capitalistic endeavors.
