Landlords operate on a very real scarcity, and gouge out 40-70% of people's incomes every month.
Thrifted clothes are really cheap in comparison, and are a much more elastic product. I mean, yeah, you can't really live without clothes (naked people have little to no influence in society), but an item of clothing will last you years if not decades.
If we're going by use value, it's still really cheap, thanks to the overproduction in the fashion industry that has been ongoing for over 50 years.
Idk, if thrift stores in your location are running short on clothes due to resellers, it sounds like the problem could be better solved by incentivizing people to drop clothes off at the thrift store instead of in the trash.
Look I'm working on it okay?
Mark Twain said "Clothes make the man", but he didn't say anything about whether that holds for enbies.
If clothes make a man, then we can assume that a lack of clothes make a lack of man, or woman. Nudity is nonbinary, according to Mark Twain
