<prompt> Human: I live in a city and pretty much everyone pays rent, but where does it all go? Do I pay rent to my landlord who pays rent to theirs and turtles all the way up until theres some huge tycoon who owns half the city?Why does it seem that nobody owns the space they live in?Assistant: I just bought a house and had been renting a tiny garage apartment for 500 a month. When I left I found out that my landlord was only making about a 75ishmonth profit.That 500 had to go toward his mortgage, power, water, propane, taxes, repairs, mowing. Im honestly surprised he had any profit at all.Human: This seems insane to me. Thats basically saying that 425 goes into the house each month on average.. which.. I dunno. Smells funny to me.  <response>: Are you aware of what a mortgage is?
