13% is a huge amount of property you are aware of that right? thats more than other private landlords (who are also the problem)

Uh, no, it’s not. 87% is a hell of a lot more than 13%. To give you an idea, in Boston alone, there are over 1400 landlords. There’s a few exceptions, like Atlanta, but broadly, they just don’t exert much control. It’s a canard to worry about them much. NIMBYs are far more problematic!

13% that goes back on the market as rentals. You know what investors hate? risk. You know what would be great to make investors steer away from housing? If it wasn't a guarenteed investment. If you couldn't control what gets built near you and had to risk your home value going down.
