Even if that were true, the real estate market is supposed to be a fluctuating thing, it's supposed to be slow growth, it's only very recently in history that it's stopped having natural peaks and ebbs, and just gone straight up at rocketing rates. It's supposed to have a buyers market (where prices are low) and a sellers market (where prices are high) but they took away the checks and blanaces and unnaturally forced the market into a sellers market only and then investment firms bought up all the stock. The world isn't supposed to be like this, they've rigged the game. Why do they get to rig the game to their favor. Why can't other have a shot at a comfortable life, because that's all us plebs are asking for and they won't even give that.
