      Most of the problem is not driven by corporations:

      Investors owing between one and five properties account for 85% of investor-owned homes, and those owning between six and 10 properties account for another 5%, bringing the total share of small investor-owned homes to about 90%.

      It’s boomers.

          I’m not sure. That’s just a quote from the article. I’ve heard similar things before. If my memory is correct, the thing I heard before had a statistic like this (if not the same one) for single-family homes, but I may be remembering incorrectly.

        Jesus! Did not know that and have been saying owning a couple homes is no big deal, that this is on the big investment corporations.

    Free market would just keep going since rent is just free money for corpos and even without rent, value is property always goes up.

    Unfortunately, unless you get progressives in both state Congress and the governership, nothing will happen. Californian Dems are generally neolibs, and literally no one seems to pay any attention to any position aside from the governership.
