    It’s not even a special problem if a corp is a landlord or just one person.

    The problem is not enough housing, not enough construction. Housing prices are actually decreasing in Austin because Texas builds

      Landlords are problems themselves, it doesn’t matter if it’s a corp or a person.

            Why? It’s impossible for all of the homes to be owned, we’ve been between 63-68% home ownership

            In fact, a nasty thing happened when the home ownership peaked around 2008

                    The government doesn’t have the money to buy every property
