Propaganda. It is true that speculators are causing the rise in housing prices, and it's not true that they are not. The studies that say otherwise are lies and internet slop articles.

Not every home is purchased every year.

Any link you give about this is propaganda. Written by people who make money off buying and selling homes.

I could show you a link that says inflation is transitory for every one of the links you gave me about how the rich are not fucking the poor over by buying and selling homes like they're shares in the stock market.

When it comes to home ownership. I am a (national) socialist.

The claim about Blackrock isn't supported by it's own presented evidence. It's just statistical innumeracy.

It’s a red herring or strawman. It’s not black rocks fault. It’s the thousands and thousands of 2+ person investment groups that are doing the same thing, that the studies leave out of their math.

So you agree the claim about Blackrock is not true.

Thanks! That helped!

I agree that it's a red herring strawman, yes.

Elon musk also is not the 1 source of all of the problems in the universe either.

blackrock is just a part of it all. alot of private interests are turning to real estate for reliable investments

even retirees are holding onto their homes and buying a vacation property because why not there is no financial incentive to downsize anymore

the structural flaw is capitalism, and deregulation ain't gonna help. orange man has a long history with real estate interests. the fact that he's one of the few people to bankrupt a casino is (probably) not a blunder, it's (probably) how he launders money for the mega-rich that he works for.

but high housing prices does serve the goals of those who are waging the class war on us, as it helps maintain a sizable population in poverty on the brink of homelessness. if the threat of homelessness and the violence that comes with it wasn't there, the american system of capitalism would not have as much leverage as it does.

add in the leverage employers have with healthcare plans and you can see what i mean about class war.

unless you're trained not to see it, of course.

Many local regulations are tantamount to bribes to the planners office!

In WA they also make you pay for gopher impact studies and mitigation.

Home rule is a pox on these lands.

I hope this has been helpful.
