I think out of everyone I know, you'd have to be the biggest liberal with the strongest anti-Democrat bias.
Damn it's weird when it gets said out loud.
You know what they say: once you go far enough left you get your guns back.
Then again I've never owned a gun so hmmm!
While Blackrock can't crash the housing market "investors" in general certainly can.
It's very bad optics when over a quarter of all housing is speculative.
Just like a traffic jam can be created by adding 10% more cars:
so too can the housing market collapse by adding 10% more houses.
But if I'm being honest the demographics issue might dwarf this one.
Hahaha, that's the best part about having commenters, you get to hear all sorts of things about yourself.
Agreed, investors could certainly crash the housing market, but I do think there are so many people, particularly Gen Y & Gen Z that are totally priced out of the housing market, that might finally get an opportunity to own their own home... so, crash away I say. If anyone gets too worried about housing being too cheap, you just increase immigration and the problem gets solved real quick.
Yeah I mean when empty houses are x10 more common than homelessness something has got to give.
