I live in a small town in the SE US. I bought my house for $89,900, 12ish years ago. There are 3 vacant houses on my street and they are all listed for $250,00 or more. My house is bigger than all of them. They have all been empty for over a year.

They really should tax empty houses at 100%. You'll see how fast they will sell, and how low the price will go to achieve that.

absolutely agree. It's insane that we allow corporations to hoard housing and artificially jack up the price. I'm just outside the city limits and I see soooo many homeless people now. A lot of them have jobs too, they just can't afford a place to live. Some local churches have opened up their parking lots for people to sleep in their cars.
