That’s fair, I suppose the point I was getting at with that is that it’s putting pressure on buyers, sellers, and realtors.
There will always be a need for rentals but I am wholly against corporatized housing. I think the only people who should own homes are individuals, non-primary homes should be heavily taxed, and there should be a hard limit on how many buildings anyone can own.
Housing should not be an “investment opportunity.” People shouldn’t be able to buy houses just to rent them out.

This so hard!
I %100 feel like this is more of the same: corporations controlling basic needs to extract every dollar they can from people. Renting makes sense, if you can’t afford a home you can at least have a place in the intrum. But with companies controlling the entire housing market, this is textbook late-stage capitalism when you don’t have a choice. No longer is there competition, they are all working together.
