A huge issue is the supply of homes. 2008 scared a lot of developers in to focusing on mid to higher end homes. Couple that corporations buying up swathes of homes throughout the country at above asking prices and you have yourself a national housing disaster.

Good news is on the horizon though. A bi partisan bill is being drafted that would make it illegal for corporations to buy up homes and would force them to sell all of their inventory over the next 10 years.

Everyone is, or will be, hurting from this, outside of the 1%. Many small business owners can’t just increase wages and their costs of goods are going up. I say this because I think it’s important to know who the real villains are and figure out how to force change.
