    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.

    Stay in school kids.

      “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.

                  “That sounds like an Atlanta problem” one can only reasonably address this issue locally/regionally. To paint broad strokes with the national average is CRAZY disingenuous given addressing inventory deficiencies isn’t like shipping a widget from Omaha to Los Angeles.

                  Most people need to not worry about the national average because it is skewed (speaking of - what is the actual distribution?) - they need to worry about wherever they actually are.

                  ETA addressing the last paragraph of your comment: agreed! That is something to be celebrated. Wallowing in doomerism certainly doesn’t help anyone but let’s also not pretend this isn’t a very real problem people face (home unavailability).
