    Developers build houses and neighborhoods all the time without landlords paying them to do so. I’m actually not sure if landlords paying for building is common at all. Though, developers do all kinds of shady and harmful shit too.

      you think the developers will continue building if nobody gives them money at the end of the build? either through pre- (“give us money and we’ll build you a thing”) or post- (“come give us money for this thing we built”)

      why do bakers even charge for the bread they made?!! its just sitting on the shelf doing nothing?!

        I think it’s mostly regular homebuyers that give them the money (well, the bank, through mortgages).
