    What you expect when corporations and investors now own around 30% of all homes.
  • @adanr2389
    We are being priced out by large corporations that are buying houses.
  • Tax the poor. Give breaks to the rich. Enforce strictor zoning. Hike inflation. Dont build affordable homes. Im amazed we have this problem.

    We didn’t need a study to know this
  • @Me97202
    Really? We needed another “study” to come to this conclusion? How about fewer studies…and more solutions.

    Thanks for the international corporations that can still afford to buy with cash.
  • Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

    I lost my housing twice during the pandemic, and then couldn't afford the skyrocketing rents anymore, so I ended up buying an old Toyota Sienna minivan to live in.

No talent, no skill, no passion, but good investment can bring you financial freedom. Don't underestimate the power of smart financial decisions!!!!!!!!"

    There are numerous studies that show there are 14 MILLION homes vacant due to institutional investors as well as speculators asking too much for rent or selling price. We don't need to create more multi-family housing or drastically change zoning laws because those new homes will end up being vacant due to the same institutional investors asking too much for rent. Leave our neighborhoods alone.

    @1:52 laughed out loud when hearing the guy said homes have higher quality now than in the past
  • @christinet6336
    We live in a plutocracy... there, I answered it for you. It has nothing to do with the pandemic. Housing prices have been ridiculous for the past 40 years.

    Now buying a house turned American dream to American nightmare.
  • @nycsergio
    So Harvard had to do a study to confirm what we already know
