    I am referring to the literal times we live in. Single-family housing units are being gobbled up by large firms, this will not show up on your graph just yet.

    The Workers are now recieving even less of the Value they create than before, that’s a wild way to justify this.

      Corporations owning houses is a tiny percentage, again, home ownership rate is 60%+

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

            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
