    In my building, half the units are just sitting here empty. Guess what country the owner is from?

      Doesn’t really matter what country the owner is from. What matters is that the country that contains the houses allows houses to be bought and sold purely for investment. Focusing on who is buying and selling them is barking up the wrong tree. If it wasn’t them it would be someone else, because it’s the system that’s the problem. Go be racist somewhere else. Or just don’t be racist at all.

      i’m happy to see the empty apartments where i live; it means that it helps drive down the cost of rent and it’s working, somewhat.
