Look at the scale, it’s between 63-68 for decades and the top number was literally a bubble
I agree that not all of the productivity gains go to the workers, but the workers are better off now than before
I am referring to the literal times we live in. Single-family housing units are being gobbled up by large firms, this will not show up on your graph just yet.
The Workers are now recieving even less of the Value they create than before, that’s a wild way to justify this.
Corporations owning houses is a tiny percentage, again, home ownership rate is 60%+
It is not a tiny percentage, and it is getting worse.
It’s not even a special problem if a corp is a landlord or just one person.
The problem is not enough housing, not enough construction. Housing prices are actually decreasing in Austin because Texas builds
Landlords are problems themselves, it doesn’t matter if it’s a corp or a person.
The problem is NIMBYs, not landlords
The problem is Landlords.
Why? It’s impossible for all of the homes to be owned, we’ve been between 63-68% home ownership
In fact, a nasty thing happened when the home ownership peaked around 2008
