When you sell a piece of property for profit of $100k due to rising value of that property you pay x amount of capitol gains to the gov. If you rent that piece of property for $1000 profit from expenses you pay x amount to the gov. If the property went up in value to the point of making a million on the sale, you pay multiple times tax amount on capitol gains on that same piece of property. You raise the rent due to market appreciation (and rising expenses) and you somehow make $1500 profit a month and you pay more taxes to the gov on that income. The reverse applies if you make less profit and will lessen the gov income. Of course that's if you're not someone very rich and special and get the gov in control making some rules or policies or purposely lack enforcement that give you a bigger break. That definitely happens.
That's just one tiny example of how more income to the gov happens with rising home prices and the control over how that money comes to them. And then of course you have housing costs in the Fed's interest decisions playing a part in that control overview. Then we would have to include social economics under gov control and policy decisions. We would also have to include the political power and manipulation in the discussion too.
Not really any conspiracy, whether it's nefarious or just normal administrative processes, the control is there, just reality of the real world. Sure there's things they can't control, that just human nature and also unknown or thought of at the time things from consequences that the gov actions bring (a big part in the political realm) and they lose some of that control in some areas and that effects. Chicken or the egg thing. Which control over what comes first?
But hey, everyone has to make their money with their own belief systems, but just remember reality can bite you in the anus depending on how you look at things.
Now I really got to go, I just got my new pair of RTX 4090 24GB GDDR delivered to put in my rig that I built about 4 months ago. All my kids and grandkids have gotten more updated rigs built for them and I was still using my old Z97 board with a i7-4790K cpu and an old pair of RTX 960Ti's 4GB GDDR which I have been using in my new build until now. Yippee. I was starting to get some erroring and conflicts as I switched all my monitors to 2 & 4k and Win11. Still have to get my gpu blocks for my liquid cooled system, but I'm like a kid at xmas to get these bad boys in. I'll just use software for the gpu cooling for now.
