If you go to the supermarket you will find that the prices never go down
That's because this handful of corporations not only supplies almost everything in the supermarket, they also own controlling shares in the supermarkets too
Doesn't matter if it's New York, London or Tokyo

They buy up housing and rent it out, then use that rent to buy more houses, so they can force people to pay more in rent because they have no option to buy
