The top comment says it's zoning laws, not corporate companies taking over the market, lol.. Last time this came up, they said it was only around 35% corporate owners, like that's a low amount. Talk about two insane takes.

▪︎it's corporate ownership of huge percentage of the market ▪︎ it's price fixing for rentals ▪︎ it's Airbnbs or similar taking a huge share from the corporate owners.
