I'm all for someone being able to afford the oceanfront mansion, if they are so fortunate (that one happens to be next door to Vanessa Bryant - Kobe's widow).

But to have millions who now can't even rent?

Housing needs to be treated an an essential service - not the "as much as the market can bear" playthings of the greedy landlord class.

Which, as you know, is how it was in the 19th century.
