Housing is a basic human need, it shouldn’t be allowed to be only an investment. With the other items, you can just say “so don’t buy it”, which is not possible with housing, you have to pay for it, even of you wouldn’t like to.
An Important want for sure, but not a necessity in any way shape or form. You won’t die or get sick by not attending a concert or a guitar would be listed in survival guildes
Housing and concerts are orders of magnitude apart in “importantness”. All of the items above are not needed to live. A home is needed.
Which I conceded in the very first sentence. Seems like neither you nor the people downvoting paid enough attention to catch that, though.
Blaming customers and scalpers for a problem caused mainly by Ticketmaster can be a bad thing without it being anywhere near as important as housing or anywhere near as bad as inflating the price of same. It’s not a binary.

fumo is a basic human need
While not as basic a necessity as housing, live music is also an extremely important thing to many people.
Just saying “don’t buy it” is kind of shitty and enables the predatory practices of the likes of Ticketmaster/Livenation…
Sustenance for the spirit.
Yeah. Not to mention that a lot of people’s social identity, social activities and sense of community are all tied up in going to concerts together…

I’d bet if you were a lego fan you’d say the same about legos.

Define a “home”. A cave? A tent? A huge loft? What is really necessary to survive?
