      No need to hate on capitalistic America that much. My question is also relevant for companies and landlords that would build houses for other people to live in.

        They want cheap houses to rent because it means lower investment and faster time to profit.

        They have insurance, so they don’t care if a hurricane removes it or damages it because they can fix it up and charge more once it is fixed or rebuilt.
