      I mean yeah exactly, the corporate ones are the bigger problem. This is just one guy. The corporate landlords are pricing even the private landlords out of the market, let alone first-time homebuyers.

      Blackstone’s real estate divison in particular should be disbanded and its’ assets sold at auction to private individuals ONLY. Everyone (not here, but in general) talks about Blackrock, a company that mostly focuses on providing ETFs and other financial instruments, while Blackstone is literally out there buying up America’s single family homes and people barely talk about them.

          You are FREE to live in a homeless shelter.

          Who will build houses for FREE? Who will pay for the materials?

          It’s a nice idea in concept, but a fucking moronic when it meets real life.

          I am all for social housing and rent-controlled housing owned by towns and cities.

          But all housing being FREE is stupid…
