> My biggest gripe with apartments is that it strips ownership away from residents and into the pockets of very few people with a lot of money. Equity doesn't get built. It's a hip fiefdom.

As if houses are any different these days. It's not hard to find a lot of real estate investors encouraging people to buy houses for the sole purpose of renting them out.

That is a related gripe I have, and I think large-scale housing rental organizations like Tricon should be outlawed as well.

It's one thing for someone to have a second home to rent out, it's another to have 20, 30, or 30,000.
