I love how all of these articles are about "create more supply!" instead of regulate corporations buying up all of the properties. You can watch the lack of supply correlate to when airbnb's and rentals started to be investments for corporations. Price fixing is also a huge part of it. If rentals are unnaturally high, how are people supposed to save to buy?
