I'm very suspicious of this line. The whole Western-world has the same issue: a housing crisis. It's more likely a minority are buying everything and leaving houses empty to jack up rents using computer systems. In Australia the real estate agents all use the same system. It's a software monopoly controlling the whole market. Australia, Canada, USA, europe? All have a housing crisis? Really? Meanwhile China... just fucking build commie blocks.
Same story everywhere. Here in Australia there's more than enough empty houses to house our growing homeless population. Housing is a human right.
I just want to state: it's a fact asset classes have been over inflated over the decades as a result of asinine monetary policy. This is a disaster. Governments have failed their citizens.
