Right. The govt needs to have a housing policy . There only piece meal stuffs that don't address the root causes.

[Donotunderstand]

so you want the GOV - State? Federal ? intervening in a free market ?

I hate what is going on in terms of helping renters - but if the big guys buy them up to rent them out by the week - is that not free market finding the GREATES VALUE which finds the greatest capital for select investments

So so so many hear declare SOCIALISM when a D idea is thought of or presented but is this not evil SOCIALISM with the GOV taking action because some part of the market wants it?

Now - if these companies are monopolies and acting as such that may be a reason and way to have Federal intervention in private markets
But why do so many people yell socialism when there is a program to help low wage people but want GOV to intervene when Big companies drive up costs for middle and upper income
Socialism is Socialism
