What is making housing so expensive?

Dear JD, you racist POS.
Immigrants aren't making #housing more expensive.

HEDGE FUNDS and PRIVATE EQUITY buying up acres of affordable housing and raising rents are. Plus lack of new homes being built.

Stop servicing billionaires and blaming immigrants.

The estimated number of unauthorized immigrants ranges from about 12 million to 17 million at the high end. Not even close to 30 million. And they didn't all come during the last few years. There were over 10 million in 2020.
