    So BlackRock can buy it and rent it out to people for $3,000 a month? What use is more housing if rich people who own 1,000 houses are just going to buy it? The solution is more complicated.

      I don’t think that will happen. The empty houses problem is probably much exaggerated, since it gives less returns then renting them out.
