Do you have statistics, cuz we have statistics on what I'm saying. Let's say what you're saying is true, why are they holding on to it for pricing? Because the fucking corporations are buying up all of the stock.
Here you go. And maybe next time try not being an asshole.
I'm being an asshole because you guys are just sitting around complaining about generations, which is a distraction from the real greeds.
Yup. Keep the left mad at the right, bottom mad at top, country mad at city,, all the while shit gets worse. Well, not for the pricks starting shit in comment sections, they'll have plenty to keep themselves distracted with.
This is Lemmy, we keep the left mad the left here.
I was just answering your question…
While speculators driving up prices is a problem, the bigger problem is your small scale landlords with half a dozen revenue properties 3 of which are only being used as AirBnBs, and the rest managed using price fixing software to gradually break renters backs.
We've known since the beginning that Rent Seeking is anathema to free markets. It's the dirtiest word in economics, because it breaks the whole system and is accountable to no feedback mechanism on a macro-scale.
