How private equity is changing housing

build. more. and this problem will go away.

Not if private equity just snatches it all up.

Yes build more. Also regulate the oligarchs until they no longer exist.

PE buying real estate is a long bet on housing prices. If supply increases enough, prices flatten out and then fall, and the longs get crushed.

These investments are a bet on continuing to under-build and under-densify.

If they buy out all the supply, there will always be a shortage.

So build so much they cannot rent all of it. Over supply will eventually drive down prices.

who is going to do the building? Because PE is the one doing that too.
