This is not true. Blackstone owns 0.06% of the single family homes in America. There is no market where they own more than 1% of the homes.
Nobody has a monopoly on housing. 2/3 of American households own their homes and rental housing is a VERY diversified and competitive industry.

Both 46th Ave and Lowell at this intersection were supposed to be protected bike lanes. The 46th Ave PBL was cancelled and the Lowell PBL has been delayed indefinitely due to lack of funding. This is another crash in Denver that could have been prevented.

Landlords do not keep homes empty to create artificial scarcity so their competition can make better profit margins.
Homeowners create artificial scarcity in the housing market through low density zoning that prevents the housing supply from meeting demand.

Any resolution to the American housing crisis is necessarily going to involve a lot of market-rate construction by for-profit developers. We are talking about several million units.

As far as I can tell the idea that cities have uniquely high rates of crime is entirely fictional, there are just more people there - who all pay a premium to stay there, which would be very hard to explain if they really were uniquely dangerous places to live

Girls go to school in the morning & come home with breasts removed (definitely not happening)
Immigrants are on a crime spree (they’re less likely to commit crimes)

Good thing last year we cut what were already the 3rd lowest property tax rates in the country because rich people complained that the housing crisis had made them too much money on their homes.
Good morning from the state Capitol. Gov. Polis’ budget director is telling legislative leadership that, because of the federal tax bill, the state is facing an immediate deficit of $955 million. That means legislators will have to find or cut that money, which will likely happen in next few weeks.

Paramount has joined Disney in paying bribes to Donald Trump, the Washington Post killed its Harris endorsement, Fox News functions as Republican state media, and the X algorithm amplifies fascist content. Here's why the media has a liberal bias problem.

Contrast is so clear:
Do you want to live in Trump's America where disease spread, free speech is physically attacked and everything from government contracts to science depends on the whim of the mad king
OR do you want to live in a free country, with vaccines and decisions based on merit

“These kinds of buildings being put in place, it just opens up so much opportunity for people like myself.”
Portland’s “middle housing renaissance” proves it: Building more homes and more types of homes makes homes more affordable — offering options about $300,000 cheaper than the status quo.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
