These are the same shady investors who have fueled the housing crisis and strip-mined our healthcare system. 

What could go possibly go wrong?
This One Thing Is Making Your Life More Expensive | Robert Reich
Private equity is shutting out millions of people from buying their own homes. In 2021, private equity investors bought nearly 1 in 7 homes in top metro areas.
