They're driving the prices up because they're buying all of it. Now they're reselling it for higher and higher prices and making huge profits. Some of them are charging ridiculous prices just to let other people use it. So now there are people who can't afford it even if some is available, because it costs so much. People are getting sick and dying because they don't have any! Oh wait. Did I say hand sanitizer? Housing. I meant housing. Damn autocorrect.

Hate knowing that not only could every renter buy a house, every renter actually IS buying a house - we are servicing a home loan, covering rates, and paying for repairs. We just don't get to KEEP the house - someone else does because they had capital and we didn't. ~ @cannibality

Landlords don't really provide housing, they actually make housing inaccessible by buying up more homes than they need. This practice drives up local property taxes and housing prices, all while making tenants pay for the mortgages of their landlords. In this manner, landlords only deepen generational income inequality.

Los Angeles police officers forcibly removed Chavez Ravine residents who had been resisting the city's orders to leave their homes. The city had plans to build a stadium for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Palo Verde, La Loma and Bishop — three low-income neighborhoods that once made up the mostly Mexican-American community of Chavez Ravine...

The housing market is one of the few parts of the economy that hasn’t dramatically declined during the pandemic. That’s in part because record-low interest rates and the work-from-home trend have led city dwellers to buy homes in suburban and rural areas, boosting home prices in many regions. It’s also because extensive measures, including a moratorium on evictions and forbearance programs for mortgages, have helped struggling families weather the crisis so far.
