Buying a house to live in while you save for something bigger is different from buying property for the sole purpose of renting it out.

The latter are financial vampires, sucking money from lower classes, pushing housing prices higher, locking more people out of ownership.

Are the developers of apartment buildings financial vampires too? The people who literally are adding supply to the market (and therefore lowering prices, because supply and demand)?
