We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

That's true, because companies buying SFHs make it unaffordable to buy homes in desirable neighborhoods. They are the solution to the problem they created.
That would be true if this situation didn't exist before the leap in prices.
I missed that gem. Buy having billions, if not trillions to spend they can inflate pricing.
Studies have shown that is bullshit but I disagree. The claim is they only own about 1% of the market and can’t influence it.
I know anecdotal data isn’t always accurate but they seem to focus in the low to mid range. When I was buying my condo in Oregon. Everything at that range was getting sucked up by PE.
You can get some great deals on multimillion dollar properties where they are not buying but the sweet spot for most buyers they are consuming. That’s my opinion.
