Sounds good for rentersBuddy when corporations are buying up hundreds of single family homes and turning them out for rent then things need to change.
Paying rent to a faceless mega corporation who give even less of a fuck than some shit bag landlord?Sounds good for renters
The ability to rent etc. can then be conveniently tied to other requirements.Sounds good for renters

The problem is corporations buying housing to rent in areas where everyone else owns, that fucks up property values and brings in generally shitty people and high turnover. Do you want to own a property that you care about and have neighbors that don't?

I think a lot of the covid trillions in handouts/loans to big corps are being used to buy up all the houses. I'm now fully convinced libertarian principles are the only viable solution to America's problems. You start handing out cash to this group and that, all you get is corruption.Yes, but the thing that needs to change is not the thing you think needs to change.
What should be done is that we could eliminate a great deal of regulation and zoning that keep new housing development from happening, this would drive down the cost of existing housing and/or increase population density in areas that are clearly in demand.
But instead it's NIMBYs all the way up the ladder.
Blaming 'corporations' (do LLCs count?) is how you give the various levels of government a cop out for their role in the protection scheme that is home ownership.

Have you noticed the rest of the planet?
We make our own misery.That the rest of the world is worse off than AMERICA doesn’t mean we don’t have our own problems.
We are the most car dependent nation in the world and gasoline is currently near $6 a gallon where I live.
Cost of living, housing (cost and availability) access to affordable medical care, and a completely dysfunctional government torn between ruling the world and improving their own country.
Wouldn’t want to live anywhere else though.
I can't fix the problems but I hope for the best for everyone. America is not going to solve your problems.What are america's problems?

It's legitimately why I enjoyed living in China. Walk out the door and there's a supermarket and restaurants within a three minute walk.I'd love it if we had mixed use dwellings. I want to live close to convenience stores and shit.
