          That is certainly pointed language, but they’re calling landlords leaches. In the Adam Smith economic sense of the word, rent seeking is non-productive economic activity and could certainly be described as ‘leaching’ value.

          It feels shitty to be tied to that word but they’re not making a statement about your moral worth, they’re making a statement about the roll you’re filling.
