Well I personally feel that BlackRock and other asset management firms are the problem. I don't support corporations buying up assets (homes in this case), manipulating the market, and attempting to flip for even more than its actually worth.

Okay, but that is a result of "letting the market run its course." What do you suggest be changed in order to stop BlackRock from doing that?

The End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act - introduced by Dems.

This is why I stay center (though I lean right of center), I'm able to to sway left and right on issues. As should everyone else.

See? Now that is a much better response to the article than a random tangent about immigrants. Actual ideas that could help the situation.

I do very much question your so-called commitment to "stay center" when your first response to an article about homelessness and vacant homes is "Biden and immigrants bad".
