  I just realized recently that I’m back up within 20lbs of where I was in the “oh my God things have to change” weight.

  Corporations bought 15% of homes sold in that quarter, they don’t own 15% of the homes. The total owned is much less. But regardless, that does not impact HOUSING, it impacts home buying. Separate issue.

  If 100 people need somewhere to live, and there are 98 houses, 2 people will not have housing. Now imagine a corporation buys 10 houses and rents them out to 10 of the people. Still exactly 2 people without housing. I care more about helping the people who do not have places to live.

  I don’t care if companies own houses, they rent out those houses so the amount of housing is still increasing.

  Same for “those outside the country” unless you mean like billionaires buying housing units and not living in them and not renting them out, but that is not a big enough part of the market to matter.

  Homelessness is a housing affordability issue. Build more housing, fix ya zoning, make unemployment and Medicaid easier to get.

  There’s a population with long term homelessness due to mental health issues and we should be trying to help them too, but to the extent the issue is increasing it’s due to marginal situations like someone losing their job or having a medical emergency.
