If you're not profiting from hoarding property during a shortage, why are you doing it?
it means they have one foot in the working class and one foot on the other side of the fence. their material interests are only partially aligned with those of other workers, and partially aligned with the interests of people who own for a living. they are in a position to throw another working person out on the street or raise their rent, and to potentially get rewarded for doing so. it's a perverse incentive.
Plenty of "landlords" are working class who've managed to purchase an apartment / small house / etc. Certainly not "owning shit" for a living
If a significant portion of your income is owning shit, you're definitionally not working class.
You'd be petite bourgeois.
