They could also live there if you sold it to them.
Only if they can afford its price.
Who gets to originate the claim on property? Who gets to set the price and collect on the sale?
As mentioned elsewhere, owning isn't necessarily for everyone.
Freedom isn't necessarily for everyone has also been mentioned throughout time. Slavery has existed all through history.
That doesn't make it ok but anyone who is an enslavery or aspiring enslaver is going to argue some people want to be slaves.
Removing and restricting the agency of others is never ok. When it's for economic gain, it's always exploitation.
The big difference being that one thing being owned is completely inanimate, and the other is a literal human being against their will 🤷♂️
The point is people are really good at exploiting each other and justifying it as for the greater good.
