Like, I mean, if you can't see that a smaller mortgage payment to eventually own a home is better than a larger rent payment to never own, I really can't help you.

But either way, Clemence, you clearly haven't read any other articles before jumping to the conclusion that I'm in favor of usury. (I'm not, thanks for asking.)

We want to ban interest and rent-seeking in all its forms.

And there are market mechanisms to encourage lending without interest, but I get the sense that you're not nearly open-minded enough to even give it a good think. I honestly don't know how anyone rational can defend the debt-and-rent-laden status quo as good, productive, moral, ethical, or sustainable.
