I generally agree, but one small disagreement: housing-as-an-investment can be important for having a robust and affordable housing rental market. Every rental agreement has an investor on one side of it.



Building new houses yes. Buying existing stock as a speculation instrument while influencing policies not very much.


Also, that involves actually renting out houses, not keeping them empty.
