I'm glad you have enough financial stability where you can pick and choose your landlord. It's unfortunate that there are plenty of people who can't "vote with their wallet" on account of not having all that much cash in there. And plenty of landlords who don't fear bad reviews because there's no place they can even be reviewed at, and even if they were to receive such a review housing is an inelastic good and in too short of supply for people to be picky about it.

Additionally, the government has no incentive to charge you more that what it costs to run public housing, whereas the landlord has a profit motive. Even if the government charges you more than how much it costs to build and maintain buildings, this money isn't send to a pit - it is used to build roads, railroads, sidewalks, provide healthcare, and to build so much more infrastructure and provide various different essential services. If you give it to a landlord, it's used to fund martinis and vacations on Ibiza. What's the better deal?

Respectfully I think a point that is often missed with your mindset is how your capital is giving you your voting power. Market Socialist policy aims to even out that exact voting power and more labor focused socialism does the same without market forces. The issue is the hoard and the power that hoard is giving individuals (and firms) over us.

I'm in a similar position to you and I can see many of these policies would hurt me directly, but can also see the historical patterns and current material conditions. We need to build a future for everyone, everyone who agrees with that is a socialist if you argue with them long enough

The TLDR:

They hate capitalism because they're losers and they think that under a different system they wouldn't be such a loser. But they would be.
