Depends on where you’re looking to buy. I live in CA and buy in the midwest. My suggestion to anyone is buy where you can afford to buy, and buy as much as you can afford. Most if not all of the housing crisis is along the west coast and north east US. Midwest and Southern US are still relatively affordable.

These corporations and groups are not just buying houses at market value, they’re using their combined resources to outbid ANYONE who can afford to buy them legitimately. It’s not a fair tactic and this requires govt action, not just building more houses for them to control.
Corresponding high RENT is also keeping people broke and on the verge of homelessness, not just the people who own a house already.

The policy question being answered with, “We just need more supply” doesn’t answer the question. We are partly in a housing shortage because of the incentive for people to buy up single family homes and turn them into air b&b’s or Corperate rentals. If you add 10 houses to the market but people with deep pockets buy up 8 of them, you end up with 2.
Adding to the supply is only half the answer. We need to remove the incentive for owning multiple single family homes with a sliding tax scale. No one should own 100 single family homes unless they are heavily taxed which can be then fed into public housing like Vienna or at the very least New York to give unhoused a bed/shelter.

She didn’t really explain why is gentrification is always bad, neighbors changing is bad? I don’t see it how there’s not a lot of upsides too – hence why it happens and a lot of people are happy to live in these areas. Sounds squarely debatable
@BadassRaiden
April 4, 2024 at 4:03 pm
I agree with almost everything she said, with the exception of one little detail. The prices of housing across the country, like ANY price for ANYTHING has literally nothing to do with supply and demand. Supply and demand is a complete and total lie that we were all taught in school. The ONLY reason the price of ANYTHING goes up, is because the capitalist that maintains the profits for that particular product or service wants more money. That’s literally it.

Unfortunately a lot of the information in this video is wrong. The problem is not luxury housing or corporate landlords. The problem is a lack of housing supply. Who is to blame for the lack of supply? It is actually a small group of homeowners who have organized to prevent new development via restrictive zoning laws. When it’s illegal to build housing, there will not be enough supply – and the cost of housing will go up.

Huge fallacy that financialization is pushing up housing prices. RE has always been an asset class for investors of all sizes. The only difference now is local governments have made new supply impossible and that increases the ability for landlords and sellers to charge more. Housing is a commodity, the only things affecting prices are supply and demand and no serious economist will say otherwise.
Social housing won’t fix this unless the government starts building heaps of homes where housing is in demand.

Lmfao BlackRock says on their own website “our focus is on building single family rental housing that can be managed and operated similar to multifamily properties.”

This is literally the opposite of what this lady is claiming. BlackRock is absolutely taking single family and suburban housing space and making it rental single family homes owned and operated by them.

I like how this timeline directly correlates with the dismantling of the Glass-Steagall Act. There’s a reason why the housing crash also correlated with a banking crash, the whole shadow bank debacle.
Corporations are wildly and recklessly throwing borrowed money around when it comes to real estate. This overinflates the prices of these properties because “who cares! You can just take whatever loan out that you want.”

I make $50k a year (no union) and houses are at least $450k. Wages are not increasing significantly but housing costs have quintupled. I have to pay double what he paid for a 4 bedroom house to rent a 1 bedroom apartment. We need a massive overhaul of the housing system

I find it odd how easily people are hating on big corporations for buying up housing and blaming them for the lack of affordable housing, yet not realizing that affordable housing is something the government should be taking care of! And not by kicking others (f.e. corporations and landlords) in the balls, but by building affordable housing themselves! There is soooo much money collected in taxes! It should be put to good use!
I’m not protecting corporations by any means, but trying to shine a light at the real issue. Corporations are for-profit organizations, the government should not be! The government is using everyone’s money, supposedly for everyone’s benefit – meaning not for their own benefit!

Gentrification is (mostly) caused by the fact the new public transportation isn’t being built in additional areas. People want to live near pubic transportation so they move into the neighborhoods that have it. Anyone who complains about gentrification should really be complaining about complete and total dis-investment in public transit.

Should have a limit on how much land any single entity, whether personal or corporation, can own.
This is one of the major problems with South Africa – not enough opportunity for private property ownership. Without private property ownership, our capitalist system collapses.
One of the few purviews of the government is to break up monopolies. One can argue that too much land ownership is a monopoly.

Rent goes up because of free market and regulatory factors that increase the relative value of real estate. Your salary doesn’t go up because you haven’t increased your value. If you had – you wouldn’t be asking the question. Increase your value. Invest in yourself and your marketability. Stop whining.

Completely unhelpful answers. She is clueless to what affordable housing crisis is, how to deal with it and what caused it.
Just blames greed of businessman and “gentryfication”.
Whoever is interested, find info about Atticus Le Blanc – he’s solving affordable housing crisis for America in the root, all via free market economics!
In short: ask your local government lifting of zoning restrictions and local regulations. You’ll see thousands of new, cheaper apartments built within a couple years.
These lefties blame corporate greed and praise “social” projects – when the most homeless(not shelterless) people are where ? In leftist states! Very few of those in Georgia or Texas, for instance.

Gentrification is the only way you’re going to get additional density and housing supply. There is no additional supply without any incentive. You can’t force developers to build something for free.

So many of these answers are obviously incorrect or half baked, it’s sad this video was published. For example, squatters rights predominantly refers to the ability for someone to avoid eviction. The description in this video refers to a process called adverse possession, which can be the end result of someone occupying through squatters rights. Don’t even get me started on the San Francisco report about why so many people are homeless.

Remember, Black Rock isn’t buying those homes or apartments directly! It’s buying those property management companies and commercial real estate firms who then do the buying! Fantastic.

Housing supply and demand have been crazy the past few years. In 2020, my husband and I both happened to be full-time essential workers. Houses were at super low prices at the time because most people were selling. We basically bought a nice house that summer at a discount price. In 2023, we watched the Zillow estimate of our house _double_ in value. We played with the idea of selling to rake in the profits for a minute, but we realized that our current mortgage and interest rate are currently incredibly low. In the long run, we would save a ton of money by staying put.

She mentions supply issues, but goes out of her way to not draw a line to the biggest issue in supply, which is regulations that make building difficult. She points out Vienna for its enormous public housing initiative, but not Japan where costs have been kept low just by allowing people to build.
@fandyllic1975
April 12, 2024 at 3:09 pm
One thing that would have been nice to hear was how affordable housing regulations lack teeth and usually have big loopholes.

As of 2021, the firm owned over 250 million square feet of commercial space worldwide valued at over $30 billion.

The question for me is not merely that ‘luxury’ units are being built and allegedly 4 million people are what, homeless or living with grandma, but why those who explain these things can be so naive and uninformed regarding facts and causation? Rising Sea Levels? Are you kidding me? There has been no discernible rise in hundreds of years proven via measurements and photos of coastlines, piers and seal level metrics. This is an economic agenda and you discuss this with a serious face? Moving on….
This entire video is about stating the problem and claiming causes for these issues but nowhere are there solutions posed. You casually cover elderly becoming sick and losing their house? Nowhere else in the world are people treated so poorly. Don’t get old or sick in the USA right given that a lifetime of savings will not be enough. You do not cover the causes of this sub-Human crisis at all!ANd rather than speaking profit, what’s the socio-political reason that mega-corporations are buying up America? You simply cannot gloss over these critical topics…
2008….6 million lost their homes? 13-18 million lost their homes. As many as 50% of Architects and Interior Designers and Contractors had to change jobs to get by… Squatters based on 10 years of residency and maintenance? You haven’t investigated the State of Washington where a friend can stay at your house for a week while visiting and legally refuse to leave. Simply too many inaccurate details to take this ivory tower research seriously!

The real question now that no one is answering is who is paying on the high end? When apartments in NYC are going for 7k, 12k, even 23k a month it affects every tenant that pays at lower tiers. Who is really paying the rents at ridiculous levels most of us simply cannot afford even if we paid more than 50% of pretax income.
@JackiJinx
April 13, 2024 at 7:55 pm
THANK YOU for talking on this! I had the very scary decision of scrambling where to live when my rent jacked up by $400 and told only within a 3 month timeframe. $1700 for a studio apartment that is barely larger than the bedroom I grew up in is insane, and I wasn’t even living in NYC! I was in much further upstate NY! Any place that I could afford kept getting grabbed up or had an insane wait list of over a year! I got placed on a few of those wait lists, and it’s been over a year now with no calls. Had to make the difficult decision to move much further away in order to be able to afford a normal life, and I’m just thankful I had the money to move after not finding a place I could afford to live just two years prior. It’s quite funny to see the number of Air BnBs that would’ve been somewhat in price range and I honestly contemplated for a time getting a storage locker and living out in one of those while I sorted my affairs, but I will *never* give my money to any of those owners with how they (not they alone but still) helped people like me not find homes in our communities we grew up in.
