Blackstone isn’t the reason why housing is expensive.

Income has increased faster than inflation. The typical American can afford more than they could in the pastz

Were landlords not greedy in the past? What inspired this sudden greed?

No the fuck we cannot, have you seen how fast groceries have gone up? $100 in 2018 bought nearly a full cart, now it barely fills up a small cart. Shit is not sustainable.

The pandemic and stimulus checks inadvertently stimulating vast amounts of price jumps and greed when they realized how desperate people could get before they stepped away

It takes less labor to afford groceries today. Yes grocery prices have risen with inflation, but incomes have risen faster.

No they haven’t, I fucking promise. Stats and charts don’t reflect reality. Inflation since 2018 is up 25.48%, income matching the 26.68% raise in wages, factor him groceries with rent, utilities, and you are left in a worse position than you would’ve been in 2018/2019

Can you explain why they done reflect reality, or are we just supposed to take your vibes based argument at face value.
