I agree that lots of societal metrics have gotten worse over the last 50 years, but thats true in capitalist, fascist, socialist and communist countries so I disagree that capitalism is the smoking gun problem, equally i don’t think its current form it is the solution.

Your solution is just feelings/opinions. Can you specify monetary policy, property rights, taxation, welfare policies that can be codified and enforced?

If people want to voluntarily rent accommodation rather than take on the responsibility of owning i am ok with others providing it and charging rent.

If people accumulate capital, start businesses and provide opportunities for others to be employees i am fine with that. If employees want to work and not accumulate capital fine. If they want to work so they themselves can accumulate capital also fine. Work for yourself or others is up to the individual. If your employer is stealing from you use the legal system or quit and start your own business-or work somewhere else.
