This is part of the problem, like AirBnB, but it's not a 3,500,000 unit problem.

Also, no realtors involved on new builds.

    They are involved in assignment sales a lot of the time though.

    Given that speculators and now a larger segment of the market than FTHB, I think making a 3,500,000 unit problem a 2,.000,000 unit problem, while also driving down rents is a huge fucking win.
