    No no we know people are buying houses. It’s just hard to compete when that person is Black Rock and they bought an entire development before it even hit the market.

      Corporate owners own less than 4% of single family homes.

      It’s not okay and that does put pressure on the market. We should strive to minimize that.

      It’s not the hellscape you want it to be. $2500/mo still buys you a 2400sq ft home in a nice neighborhood in moderate CoL areas. Again that price is out of reach for many, but home ownership rates for Gen Z is higher than millennials when adjusted for age. Most of America own their homes.
