Housing as an investment shouldn't have ever been a fucking thing. I'd like to find some of these investors and sell them my used car the way way they try to sell a used house.

Used cars are already being flipped in the same way. Take a look at the price of a 2000-2015 pickup.

Who the fuck is buying this shit?! Too bad we can't force wages like they force prices lol
