It's harder to buy a house. This U.S. city fought back by outbidding corporate landlords

I hate hearing (middle-class or wealthy) people say how much opportunity there is to make money in recessions. All it does is increase the wealth gap when already wealthy investors buy up houses and other assets and literally lord it over the lower income population. I like how this program from a U.S. city government is trying to open home-ownership to it's citizens.
