Ask HN: Anyone else feels the commoditization of real estate is unethical?

I am reading more and more about startups which are focusing on investments in real estate [1]. Doesn't anyone feel uneasy about it, that more and more people are looking at real estate as a financial tool, not a basic human right to have a roof over one's head? Aren't startups like this just adding oil to the fire which is the real estate market? I do not understand how will someone expect for future generations to achieve their own personal freedom and living inside their own four walls. [1] - https://ift.tt/ZTkg7zI
