No, you’re putting words in my mouth. I never said that local monopolies weren’t a problem. They can be and often are a problem.
All I said was that the actual statistic is much lower, and pushed back against your claims when you said I was wrong. Now that I’ve proven your argument was wrong, you’ve walked back your claims and moved the goalposts to distract from the fact that you were initially wrong.
It seems like you’re getting defensive. Nobody, myself included, cares that your argument was wrong. Please just stop pushing misinformation.
The actual statistic NATIONALLY is lower because it is an aggregation of MULTIPLE MARKETS. If you want to find out what is happening in a local market you look at the local statistics if available which is what I provided you.
You have not proven me wrong lol. I gave you the research laid out proving three entities, through almost 200 shell companies and LLCs, own 1 out of every 9 single family homes in the metro Atlanta area. That is the ONLY argument I was making - that in the ATL market the percentage is much higher than 0.2%.
You can say “no u rong me rite durrrrr” all you want but you are undeniably incorrect about what I said.
Your condescending tone is noted so I’ll just be insulting now: you are a fucking idiot who is so butthurt I provided evidence against your non-factual claim that locally the percentage is the same that you’ve elected to stick your dumb cunt fingers in your digital ears and go LALAALALALALALALALALAA like a jackass. Fuck off.
ETA: FROM YOUR OWN FUCKING LINK YOU ABSOLUTE BRAINLET: “The analysis found that the investors were heavily concentrated in some fast-growing areas, such as Atlanta and Jacksonville, Fla. Institutional investors own 10 percent of all single-family rental properties in Atlanta and 8.5 percent in Jacksonville, the study said.”
GEE who was right? Certainly not you ya fuckin troglodyte
Wow, you sound angry. You should get that checked out. Don’t hurt yourself.
You’re continuing to defend yourself, despite the fact that I clearly proved you wrong. And you just keep quoting the article rather than coming up with any reasonable defenses to your claims. It’s clear you’re not capable of thinking for yourself, and I’m sorry for you.
“Wow you sound angry” yeah dealing with braindead morons does make me angry, particularly when they argue a point their own fucking article disproves…
I gave you data for the market I was talking about. Your own article gave you data for the market I was talking about. Who did it align with? Yours or mine? I’ll give you a hint, not yours. “Stay in school” your dumb ass can’t read.
The “thinking for yourself” quip is a mask slipping moment for you. Denying reality must be fun.
I never asked for data from your market, you just kept throwing it at me as though it proved your point. It didn’t.
Chill out, seriously, you sound like you’re going to hurt someone. If you’re getting angry with someone, don’t just rage at them. Take a break from the computer and collect yourself.
It did prove my point which is to say it is a problem in certain locations e.g. Atlanta. I never argued against the overall national average. I understand your brain cells are working overdrive here but holy shit.
Wow, look at us, two people who both made correct, completely orthogonal points. It’s like you never even needed to comment on my original post seeing as you apparently never intended to disagree with it. You could have just started a new thread.
I’ve been making the same point since my first reply to you. My position has never changed, which is a correction to your insinuation that the corporate ownership of single family homes as rental properties isn’t ultimately a big deal because it’s a small amount overall
Here’s what you said:
This is doomerist myth. It’s a miniscule fraction, go look up the actual numbers. Landlords selling their properties would be very good for everyone.
It’s only a miniscule fraction NATIONALLY. That’s why I said what I originally said about Atlanta in my initial reply, where there IS a very real problem of available inventory because 1/9 homes are owned by national corporations. It’s not a myth for everyone.
Then you said my data was wrong (for which your own WP article said I was right,) which I already said was explicitly about the metro Atlanta area, not the nation. Then you double and triple downed with a pinch of condescension and dickishness. Then I called you a dumb cunt.
You could’ve just said “oops my bad, I misread your comment” which you either did or have just been trolling this whole time.
For what it’s worth I do agree with you that landlords selling would be good, regardless of the local, regional, or national quantity of single family homes owned by national corporations. That was never in question for me. Just the first part.
Guess where most people live. Is it in Atlanta? No, it’s in the nation.
1/9 homes are owned by national corporations
Yes, it sounds like Atlanta has a problem. We agree. But it’s not relevant to the discussion. I’m not saying your data is wrong, just not relevant.
Look at the post this comment is on. It’s an article about passing laws that enforce affordable housing.
My comment was that this is absolutely a positive thing. I think it’s something that we should celebrate rather than spreading doomerism claiming that it was all for naught. Positive change like this absolutely matters, and we should celebrate those victories rather than wallowing in doom.
