Hmm, it's almost as if centralizing housing into the hands of a few private individuals and then letting them raise their prices as high as they can get away with (even if it means some of their units go unused) creates an artificial inflation in real estate prices overall. Anyways...

Amazes me how the "gentrification plans" pushed by elected officials with ties to property development dovetails with the outsourcing of public housing to private companies run by the same property developers - they recieve state funds for providing the housing service while at the same time undermining the program and reporting it as an efficiency increase.
