Investor swine wallowed burping and farting into the rental housing market big time in 2010 during the republican Great Recession when thousands of houses were abandoned and foreclosed and thus bargain buys waiting to be gulped down by the fattest, largest hogs in commercial real estate and financial hedge funds often owning thousands of rentable houses and apartments.
The rental housing hogs, bloated with cash, set and raise rents "across" the holdings without a single thought about tenants struggle to pay them or decent into homelessness if they can't pay excessive rents.
Wall street not drugs or crime is the single worst contributor to homelessness in America and the western world and must be stopped by any means necessary legislative or by direct action such as squatting, confiscation and vandalism (to destroy value)
The German parliament is considering the legislative route of breaking up mass corporate ownership of rental housing! America should follow up !!
