    just ban/tax corporate landlords and landlords who don’t live within 5 minutes of their rental already.

    Yeah. The huge price increases and then the huge interest rates means that people wanting a house and people needing loans are shit out of luck unless they want to risk being underwater if there’s a crash or being unable to afford a mortgage or need to refinance.

    It doesn’t really hurt corporations, though. Since their intent is to rent homes forever, they can buy at above market rates and take a hit to ensure there’s no other recourse for home buyers.
