So, instead of finding ways to reduce ridiculously inflated home prices from price gouging boomers, you just sell shoeboxes to poor people for a more distributed kind of "poor people" homes. It's like spreading an unattractive refugee camp out amongst a larger space so the rich folk don't have to look at it all in one place. Great work.

These are to sell, not rent. Extra rental properties suppresses rent inflation.
