it's part of of a structure requirement of the house, just like the roof, or the rafters.. it's and "ingredient" for the final product. You might as well be arguing that landlords charge a fee that is baked into the rent for every nail in the house., but that would be a funtimanelly flawed belief, becaue they are not renting a nail. they are renting a complete product. The builder charges that to the first purchaser.. after that, it's a single product/asset, to either be sold again, or rented. You keep going back to construction costs. those cost are paid by the purchaser when they purchase that newly created SINGLE PRODUCT/ASSET that the owner/landlard rents out. When a product is rented, they are renting the product as a whole, they are not adding a fee for a bathroom, the roof, or the nails. It's a single complete product that is rented, used, over and over. At some point all costs are recouped.. and they continue renting at the market rate a a resuable product, they are not adding a fee for a bathroom. In the case of a landord, that produce is a house, or an apartment. Look at it from a different perspective. A house was bought 50 years ago for $20k. today that can sell for $200k. Is that new increased price charging for a fucking bathroom? NO, it's being sold a a single complete product or rather asset, based off market value. There is not fee because there is a basic bathroom in it. It's part of the single product being resold.
You are trying to argue as if residential housing is a consumable. Like a cookie, that is consumed when purchased, and the final price includes the cost of ingrediences. A house is not a consumable. Do you argue that a wendy's hamburger has an added fee for the flour in the bun? NO. Because wendy's doesn't purchase that flour, they purchase a single complete produce, the bun, in which they use to make a hamburger..Does their price point include the cost of that bun, yes, but ONLY ONCE, as the product is consumed.. It's not rented out over and over. When the builder, constructs the house into a single product, in which he charges ONCE for the materials and costs that go into making that single product. The purhcaser, if they sell it or rent it, is now selling, or renting a single product/asset, that unlike most things, increase in value as time goes on.. It's a single asset.. not multiple assests combined in one..
Lets take a computer. If you buy a dell for example, the price you pay, is for the manufacturing costs which include each componant, and that is how dell calculates the price. Once you purchase that complete product, the comptuer, it is now a single product, or a single asset. So if you decide down the road to sell that dell computer, or rent it, you determine the cost on the market value of that single asset/product, not the internal componants. Because it is now a single asset/product and the value of that asset/product has nothing to do with the manufacturing costs. The hopes is you can sell it for a profit, but unlike a house, computer generally depreciates. So you are are going to sell it for less.. Or do you add a "fee" baked into that final selling price of that used product/asset, because the dell computer has a processor? NO, you don't. It's all based on market value and has nothing to do with construction costs after the original sale.
A house is the same thing.. Once the final constructed product was sold, it became a single physical asset, the value is no longer based on it's construction costs.. from that day forward it is fully based on market value. I dare you to go to a USED car lot, and ask the salesman if they add a fee into the final price for the motor in the car.. or go to a rental company and ask them if they add a fee into the rent for a bathroom.. you will be laughed out the fucking door.
You keep wanting to argue that the renter is paying for the original construction, that is false. They are paying to use a singe physcal asset, and when they are done renting it, someone else is going to rent that same asset.
