It's a harmless, Mom and Pop investment conglomerate trying to make an honest living in private equity, buying the companies that produce what you rely on, firing twenty percent of the staff, raising the prices of all goods and services, and patting themselves on the back for their hard, brilliant work.

It's extremely funny that BlackRock gets the blame just because they're already well known and because people are too stupid to understand that there's another corporation called BlackStone that is actually buying up all the housing. BlackStone investors must be laughing hard at the plebs

Blackrock/blackstone only owns 0.01% of single family housing.

How exactly is that them owning "everything"?
>>
>>215042685
>BlackStone that is actually buying up all the housing
They aren't even doing that.
They own an extremely tiny amount of single family homes
Why does this conspiracy theory get spread around so much

They mostly focus on apartments, which drives housing prices up across the board. They have like 350,000 residential rental units in the US. And they're in the process of acquiring another corp which did focus on single family homes, so Blackstone is taking over their portfolio of like 60k single family homes

big grill is trying to offset their overextension with real estate investments. have you ever actually seen one of these outside a home depot?
>>
>>215043006
there are rouhgly 85 million occupied single family homes in the US. HOWEVER, a private firm owning even 2% of said homes is not statistically insignificant. and i'd like to see where blackrock is buying them.
it's like rich liberals taking over skiing towns and pushing out everyone else. its bullshit.
>>
>>215043160

It's BlackStone, not BlackRock.

But yeah, BlackStone isn't the only one. There are hundreds of corporations and private equity firms running around doing what Blackstone is doing
>>

i got them confused lol.
it really begs the question what can be done to fix the current capitalist system (im not a fucking communist mind you). even if every jew were to disappear, greed won't.
maybe we should just run around and ocassionally kill each other for sport like the natives did

A lot of countries slap harsh tax penalties on anything beyond primary residences, since houses are supposed to be for living and not a speculative investment

>>
>>215043206
>There are hundreds of corporations and private equity firms running around doing what Blackstone is doing
SOURCE?
Data shows it's 0.1%

>>215043393
Why don't we just stop printing money so these speculative bubbles don't exist in the first place?
>>
>>215043921
350,000 is over half of the population of wyoming (587k as of 2024). in the scope of the entirety of the US, it is not a statistically insiginifcant number

king county's (aka the greater seattle metro) population is roughly 2.2 million. 350k is 6.2% of that.
i don't know the distribution of their holdings but knowing real estate, they're probably focusing on cheaper properties (things like smaller houses on the outskirts of metro areas, duplexes, etc) and jacking up rents as much as they possibly can. that, or holding onto properties and keeping them vacant until the area gets gentrified
>>
>>215044074
You people keep implying they own 60% of all housing and rising.
Now you say it's only 2%.
Where is your source that they own 350k housing units?

>raising prices
Prices have risen generally in the entire housing market. To blame it on them for raising to market levels is nonsense
>>
>>215043940
>SOURCE?
Just ask an LLM of your choice to provide you with sources.

>Roughly 200–300 institutional investors are active in U.S. residential real estate.

are you illiterate? i never once implied they owned 60% of housing, you are applying some faggot's numbers to mine.
google's AI is wrong, too, as it just gave me 274k unlike earlier when it said 350k befoore. So i found a real source, pic related

I'm saying people who believe in the blackrock housing conspiracy believe it's an extremely high amount like 60%
>pestakeholder
So your source is a left wing activist organization?
Where are the primary sources?

I did a deep dive with chatgpt last month looking into this and the most I could find is them owning less than a percent of housing.

if you don't understand what the issue with this is, then you aren't nearly a smart as you think you are.
we could throw numbers at each other back and forth all day, because both of us will argue endlessly about the validity of said sources of numbers, but do we agree on the fact that private equity is a problem?
>>
>>215041648
>buying
You do realise they don't actually own these stocks, right? They manage them at their clients premission. The majority of them are boomer 401(k) funds.
>>
>>215044824
>if you don't understand what the issue with this is,
There is very little issue.
They pull from many primary sources and give links with data.
>we could throw numbers at each other back and forth all day,
Yes and we should because that's how we get to the truth.
>but do we agree on the fact that private equity is a problem?
They're only a problem because they're a symptom of the endless government central bank money printing and favorable government interventions that prop up these companies.
In terms of housing private equity has an extremely minor affect on housing prices and the main problem is money printing and zoning/building restrictions that create an unsustainable bubble, turning home ownership into a speculative asset.
Housing prices should be coming down over time but government makes that impossible.

>>215041648

Reminder the vast majority of landlords are mom and pops that only own one unit

It’s obvious that they are focusing on high income city areas as of right now which is causing and even higher increase in rents and prices in cities all over the country. Which just pushes locals out of their hometowns and erases any sense of “community” (i hate that word) that these cities used to have back in the day.
Now it is literally just a bunch of bugmen living in the same rats nests and not knowing one another while just consuming bullshit until they die alone and childless.

In the future if this isn’t stopped now they will eventually start buying up housing all over the place because they literally say that their goal is to end home ownership and make everyone a renter.

Blackstone owns blackrock so they are the same entity and it doesn’t matter which one you use in your post
>>
>>215043393
There should just be a hard cap on owning more than like 3 houses.
You would never ever need more than that.
Only student housing should be allowed to own more than 3 units.

The government shouldn’t own housing.
Companies shouldn’t own housing.

Welfare shouldn’t exist and neither should temporary work contracts.

Immigration shouldn’t be allowed under any circumstances.

Criminals should get put down if they do a certain amount of crimes or be put down immediately if it is a violation crime.

Nonwhite subhumans belong in work camps etc etc etc

>>215045013
You will own nothing and be happy. FAGGOT.

>There should just be a hard cap on owning more than like 3 houses.
That's retarded as fuck
What if you own a company that builds houses to rent them out?
Why would you want to destroy the incentive to build new rental units(which pushes down the price)?
>>215045136
So you have no source and believe in an insane conspiracy?
We live in a post truth society because of you retards
