While the average citizen sweats to pay rent, large investment funds buy entire blocks of housing with advantageous tax conditions. The same political class that promises affordable housing allows these players to resell the apartments at double the price. It's not a system failure, it's its design.
The algorithm that decides your rent and doesn't ask for permission 🤖
Funds use dynamic pricing software, similar to that of airlines. The system analyzes local demand, average income, and available stock to raise the price in real time. If two families are looking for an apartment in the same area, the algorithm detects the competition and adjusts the value upward. Technology doesn't create the crisis, it just executes it with mathematical precision.
The magic solution: taking out a loan so someone else pays for your house 💸
The politician of the moment will tell you to buy subsidized housing, but the one built by funds never reaches that market. Their strategy is simple: buy cheap, wait for the law to smile on them, and sell high. Meanwhile, the citizen can take out a 40-year mortgage. After all, if you don't pay, there's always the option of renting the house from the same fund that took it from you. Ironies of the market.
