        Even a small percentage is good. The situation is desperate.

        The fewer first time home owners that get out bid by corps the better. Doesn’t matter if it is a drop in the bucket.

        And that’s even before considering how it would help stop housing from being an investment vehicle.

            Okay, but your assertion was that there are not enough homes currently to support our population if they weren’t traded as a commodity. In NYC alone there are over 3.6 Million Housing Units and a population of 8,258,035, with about half of the units being rental and about 1/20 being vacant.

            You haven’t provided any evidence that there aren’t enough housing units in the USA.

            A decline in housing project expansion is meaningless without context of how many are actually in use.
