    Well I personally feel that BlackRock and other asset management firms are the problem. I don’t support corporations buying up assets (homes in this case), manipulating the market, and attempting to flip for even more than its actually worth.

          See? Now that is a much better response to the article than a random tangent about immigrants. Actual ideas that could help the situation.
