      Is there anything private equity firms have touched that they haven’t completely turned to shit?

      Better late than never, housing (an essential human need) should never have been allowed to become the basis for PE funds.

      Next step should be requiring the holders **(i.e. PE firms)** of single-family homes to sell them at the cost they paid for them.

      **edited for clarity.**

      The version of the bill that will advance puts a cap on how many homes a PE firm can own at 350 BUT provides no time limit on making sure they sell if they go over the cap. So this bill creates a cap but does nothing to penalize firms that break it

      Edit: A previous version of the bill made sure PE firms had to sell excess inventory within 7 years and that was seen as too harsh. 7 years!

      Ban private equity from healthcare, including pet care. They buy up all vets then raise prices 400% because they have a monopoly in the area and no one wants their pet to die from an easily fixable issue. And everyone’s insurance is through the roof.

      Make it so they can’t own it. Then it may make a difference.

      Make it so no company can own residential property other than specific zoned apt buildings. Then it may make a difference. Zillow owns way more than your think and it’s not private equity.

      Also, the real estate lobby is #2 in spending money in washington. I doubt any meaningful change will happen.

      The same equity co that started this trend also owns Lemonade, the pet insurance comapny.

      I just realized how long it’s been since I heard about a positive piece of legislation that actually has a chance. This congress has done so little it’s staggering, and what little they have done has been almost exclusively negative.

      This isn’t going to reduce housing prices (only increasing supply will do that), but I’m glad we’re doing this so dumb people can get on the road to seeing for themselves that it won’t work and we can finally move on to real solutions.

      IT’S COMPLETELY WORTHLESS

      IT STOPS THEM FROM OWNING OVER 350 HOMES

      Americans should be infuriated with how out of touch these bozos are

      Unfortunately we’re now at a point when housing inventory is much higher than it was three years ago, but prices have remained the same, wages are stagnant for non home owners, and consumer confidence is low. This might have been helpful in 2022, now we need employers to pay more to keep up with inflation in order to help younger people feel more confident about buying homes.
