    It’s almost like maybe housing shouldn’t be used as an investment?

    If food was scarce, and I hoarded food and resold it, causing the price of food to skyrocket, no one would take sympathy on me if I faced economic hardship. Why would we do anything different for other necessities (healthcare, housing, water, etc)?

    There are risks to owning property. There are risks to rent out that property. Deal with it. Don’t blame the poor people for finally having a few grams of power.
