Wall Avenue is "gobbling up" America’s houses. Companies with names like BlackRock (or Blackstone or SablePebble) are shouldering their method into each suburban open home and providing 50 p.c above asking worth – in a bid to consolidate management of native markets after which jack up rents with impunity. In consequence, America’s younger households have been locked out of homeownership, whereas its renters have been price-gouged into poverty. If we need to make housing inexpensive once more, we should ban Huge Finance from shopping for single-family houses.
