You mean to tell me that a real estate investor would do something that would drive up housing costs? You mean to tell me that a guy who doesn't pay his workers doesn't give a shit about people who work for a living?

Everything to maximize profits. and one should examine the US agricultural sector that relies heavily on cheap illegal labor.
Yeah please don't toss out the underclass we all caush to have nice things.
Our economy depends on a base of low cost labor that used to be from kids or young people. It's almost like Democrats have decided to fill that void with immigrants while Republicans are trying to get back to the low cost labor being from having more kids. It makes sense if your goal is to keep the machine running the way it was designed, or at least how it evolved to operate. Social security, insurance, fast food, service industries, construction would all need overhaul to function without low cost labor being their base. Seems like you could reduce consumerism in general to compensate for the reduced low income work force, but that would hurt the economic numbers and cause an overall contraction in the stock market. Tough pills to swallow for everyone who has accumulated any significant amount of wealth in this system.

Yeah.. IM no fan of trump but the reason housing is so expensive has nothing to do with needing more houses.
