Being serious now, is this a developed country thing? I live in Brazil and it ain't easy to get a house, sure, but as impossible as the internet makes the US sound like

Kinda. We have investor companies buying hundreds of houses and properties each with the hope of selling later or renting. These are both negative outcomes for the average person who is losing purchasing power with inflation. This is also highly dependent on where you are in the country.
