    Business & Finance BlackRock attempting to monopolize housing

    It would, if this was isolated to this only neighborhood and only Blackrock as a company. But it's not just Blackrock, and it's not just in this one neighborhood.

    Business & Finance BlackRock attempting to monopolize housing

    So yeah, BlackRock is also involved in anti-2A stuff, and wants to use it's power to cause vote shifts. How much people want to bet BlackRock will not allow their renters to have firearms in their houses, and may try influence gun laws via trying to mess with election campaigns.

    For those who think this is just about hedging against inflation.

    Business & Finance BlackRock attempting to monopolize housing

    The problem with this idea is that it operates on the assumption the house Blackrock buys will eventually end up back in the market once inflation is under control. Blackrock won't be selling those properties unless they somehow end up in bankruptcy court, and even then they will probably be...

    Business & Finance BlackRock attempting to monopolize housing

    And some people want the actual ability to own a home, not settle for a 'substitute product'. I get it, you don't really care because you don't want to buy a home, but recognize many, many people do want to own a home. Yes, and the same people who got bailed out then are doing their damnest to...

    Business & Finance BlackRock attempting to monopolize housing

    Except I have produced evidence, and others are noticing the same patterns I am in the articles others posted. Also, given how many conspiracy theories have been shown to be rather close to the truth over this past year, calling me a conspiracy theorist isn't actually an insult anymore. It just...

    Business & Finance BlackRock attempting to monopolize housing

    The WSJ article mentions Conroe, Texas. The articles also point out other hedge funds and investment groups have been doing this for several years across the nation, so it's not just Blackrock that has had this idea.

    Business & Finance BlackRock attempting to monopolize housing

    I've seen reports of whole freshly built neighborhoods in TX being bought up like this, and it seems like they are trying for that in other places. See what I said above. Also, Blackrock does have the money to do stuff like this. They are a massive holding company/investment firm that buys and...

    Business & Finance BlackRock attempting to monopolize housing

    This isn't a bolthole, it's strategic acquisitions. The want to raise housing prices to the point plebs cannot buy them themselves, and force many neighborhoods to be all single family rents. Homeownership is a key part of upward social mobility; removing a lot of homes from the market makes...
