The rich that I refer here is Funds, REITs, or small group of Investors. All of them are financed by the Rich.

NIMBY definitely another issue but that house is still there and got bought by someone (person/entity) richer than the average.

Large capital is not controlling the housing supply, though. That's entirely done at the local level by the petit bourgeois, which are the NIMBYs. You can read their investment filings which openly state this, even. Or go to any local government meeting.
