Housing is more than a market - it's where people live

Do we apply that logic to any other market that's served by for-profit companies?

"corn/egg/beef is more than a market - it's what people eat"

"cars/gas is more than a market - it's how people get around"

"natural gas is more than a market - it's how people stay warm"

So what if we do apply that same logic to those other categories? Or what if we do not?

Is there a point to this line of questioning?

That "housing is more than a market - it's where people live" is a platitude. It sounds nice. But it doesn't tell us anything meaningful nor solve any problems.
