1. Take a look at Ireland, companies buy up dozens or hundreds of houses at once then rent them out, its creating a housing crisis.

2. We need Teddy Roosevelt back

3. Learned a lot about the USA housing market back around 2008 – 2010
   Not all of it was encouraging

4. These firms will just increasing the price of rent until no one is able to live in it, thus raising the price of the the land which will make their income shoot to the moon. And that's how things are gonna stay. Wall Street will just stroke their boners over how profitable they are and how much their investments increase over time while in reality no money is exchanged because no one can pay for these properties.

   I don't know what the purpose of this is or why it's being done but that is what I'm observing.

5. Probably the single greatest example of the failure of politicians in our time.

6. Fuck wall Street, fuck investment funds, today's youth will never be able to retire if they are stuck renting all their lives.

7. Individual landlords are the best to rent from. I've rented apartments from big companies and they just rip you off any way they can. No ethics.

8. Individual homebuyers and landlords should definitely be given priority over big institutional investors like Blackrock, other hedge funds, etc. The sounds along the lines of the WEF's plan, "In the future, you will own nothing and be happy."

9. Murica yeahh

10. You don't need a house, you have Meta™, you can live in a mansion there.

11. It seems the corporations screw over the average American AGAIN!

12. This is part of our education too, why do you think the government doesn’t teach us any of this? How will we find our way out if all of this hidden, you have to dig deep to find this knowledge.

13. ONLY LAWS CAN MAKE THIS BETTER!

14. What scares me the most is when foreign capital, especially China, buys up property. I read that this problem is extreme in Toronto or Quebec where a large percentage of the property is owned by Chinese investors.

15. In the US, corporate purchase of residential property has tax ramifications. The question to be asked is why structure a company to invest in residential property (hold the deed).

16. The firms doing this should have the homes they've bought up taken from them with no compensation.

17. Agenda 2030, The Great Reset

18. In my country we have a law that states: "An indivual must purchase a house, and that person that buys the house, MUST go and live in it."

19. Normal people are losing the battle against psychopaths

20. America PLEASE PRAY we really need Jesus to help us with all of this

21. Property should be for living, NOT investment. As long as property gives good returns, people will invest in it, and I'm not sure private landlords are any better than corporate ones.
    This can all be fixed by a healthy supply of homes, that would keep the price down. Of course, most landlords will clutch their pearls and shill about their property values.
    I own a place of my own. If the price falls 90% it won't hurt me one bit – I can live there just as before. But high prices hurt people without a home. The only people profiting from high property values are leeches.

22. this is what happens when u stretch capitalism too far, and the worst part is they r not even buying with their own cash but with loans, so even if they fall, it's your loss. in japan the market is way more strict, so much so that landlords can't drive up prices like crazy,
    but either way what i feel is this will create a bubble, if u keep jacking up the prices one day it will be a burst like 2008. and this time by the intuitional investors .

23. The working poor will one day rise up and guillotine the billionaires of America, just like it happened in the French Revolution in the 1700s

24. AMERICA!!! FUCK YEAH!!!
    Arse raping poor people and minorities. FUCK YEAH!
    Helping the greedy and and the corrupt. FUCK YEAH!
    Introducing dodgy business practices. FUCK YEAH!
    AMERICA!!! FUCK YEAH!!!

25. This is modern day feudalism.

26. I worked with a older gentlement who bought his first house at 19 (impossible today) for $20,000 in 1978 and recently sold it for $2.4 MILLION.

27. Everytime I see housing and Wallstreet in the same sentence I get concerned..

28. When it tanks they will cry, "to big to fail" and all the people that got ripped off will now pay for it again in taxes.

29. institutional landlords must be abolished before we are a nation of serfs

30. Jobs are all going over seas and now there will not be any houses to buy. Probably won’t even be able to rent a house. The future looks very bleak. We are being taken over by corporations. First they got into our government by making huge campaign donations (bribes) and now they are coming to rule over us and make our lives miserable.

31. With all the unionization happening around the country, I think we need to start considering tenant unions as well. Oh you want to own 40% of the town's housing real estate? Cool! 40% of the tenants are now a union and will organize to take 40% of that areas profit unless you fix the damn mold issues and quit raising rent willy nilly.

32. I can't get into Discord for ColdFusion Please advise

33. Our 1983 house that we bought for 260k in 2020 is now worth 400k . I'd feel like a criminal if I sold it to someone for that price. Its a cute house but it's not that big and its in an older neighborhood. Even if we did sell, we'd have nowhere to go. It's a catch 22

34. Don't blame the companies, blame the federal reserve. With cheap intrest rates these companies can take out cheap credit to invest in properties stock ect.. The government is printing away your wages and savings and giving it to the financial industry. We need to jack up interest rates and start quantitative tightening. It will send banks broke and the financial industry will be slaughtered but it will deflate prices and in time the money will make its way back to the consumer. Let the market set intrest rates not the government.

35. Land is the key

36. This is what Conservatives don't get……the Idea of America is done….. "Everything' is privatized.."……. And ppl wanted this…… They used your own selfishness to privatized everything…… Now everythings over priced…… Things that used to be more regulated…..

37. = Capitalism. The perversion of Capitalism

38. My great-grandfather owned land and cattle during the great depression. The US government bought the cattle for cheap as a measure to prop up the economy and support families. When the economy recovered, he had no money to reenter the market. Thus my family was forced to move to the city and seek industrial work.

    That's what this reminds me of.

39. Single family homes should be owned by families.

40. WallStreet is going to do what they always do. They are going to create an investment instrument that takes advantage of their single-family housing holdings and sale them to other institutions. Then they are going to get the government/taxpayers to bail them out when the housing market crashes. WallStreet in the single-family home buying market can only end one way, Bad! The individual home renter/buyer will be left holding the bag and the government will have to bail them out to save the housing market. @/2008@/2023

41. I live in an Invitation Homes house

42. If you want to live like a republican, vote democrat.

43. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. They are destroying the dream of home ownership and prosperity.

44. It's happening in Australia aswell might not be on the same level but Australia is always 12 motlnths behind America

45. I don’t want to have children because of shit like this… like it just seems irresponsible at this point…

46. thanks 2 Wall St the fed & govt who gave us the 2008 collapse then called in Blackrock to aid in the relief as an arm of the fed we have had been giving the wealthiest few access 2 free/cheap cash w real rates at zero & historically low. Obama also used Blackrock as arm of fed – he raised rates in 2015 16 & 17 – Trump hired Goldman & Blackrock for his fed & economic board. He raised in 2018 which sent the stock mrkt crashing down – they chose 2 cut rates in 2019 (first cut since 08) & bailed out shadow banks flooding the mrkt w billions 2 provide liquidity after a single hedge fund blew up – by the time covid hit & we finally stopped ignoring it we over spent again giving no bod contracts to the same consulting firms who have been responsible for the GFC Enron the opioid crisis & more. Tents in cali for housing homeless cost us 16k each for example. Money printer was turned on march 2020 when the mrkt collapsed & trillions was pumped into it. The bull run of 2020-21 was the largest in history & the billionaires left w over 2T – now we have Biden who passed the infastructure bill which would b great if we weren't already facing massive inflation globally from money printing & shutting down the world he is raising but they cannot do it fast or slow enough bcuz when the mrkt collapses it will take the economy w it. This is a delicate dance & he is working again w Blackrock who has now become a 4th branch of govt like wall st they control everything.

    so – while 1/2 the Nation loves Christians guns & hates the left who is coming w their demons thanks 2 Q & the other 1/2 is so fed up they believe that capitalism is the enemy – & prefer socialism. BOTH a fascist totalitarian regime & socialism have always failed thru history.
    Nordic Countries who rank far above the US In everything except military is beating us in freedoms bcuz they r captialist welfare nations
    they have society 1st mindset while here in the US its putting those who can buy the elections & lobbyists who have the 1st choice

    its all broken & we must try to learn how the system truly works instead of falling into the fear machine that corporate media feeds u regardless if u prefer the NRA to human rights – it is all keeping us a day closer 2 destroying democracy or what little of that we have left civil war is NOT the way but we have failed leadership who is more busy w being in absolute power than about us. People r gonna look back at this time & wonder how we threw away what the entire world is envious of – we kinda deserve it
