I understand, but the comment I replied to was implying that rent should somehow be less than mortgage plus insurance. My point is that under those circumstances, it doesn't make sense.

I am not sure why you think it should be any way else with our current systems, though. Asking less means the home owner is effectively paying for maintenance and upkeep entirely out of pocket, and entirely net loss for them. That said, I also don't think that means they need to price gouge and trying to make huge profits.

For similar reasons, I stopped ordering with any alterations at all. I used to customize order a little and they always messed it up. It's pretty rare that I go at all, but I figure that way it's the standard meal and they can just go in autopilot making it. Less disappointment when things go wrong

I feel like that requirement comes from mortgage lenders, not the government.

Thing is that it has been shown that the cost doesn't add up. Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 are both games you only pay the cost of the box, no on going subscriptions and they are able to continue running the servers and infrastructure just fine. 15$/mo just doesn't make sense.

These examples didn't actually clear anything up for me 🙃
