How Trump's billionaires are hijacking affordable housing

America’s morbidly rich billionaires are at it again, this time screwing the average family’s ability to have decent, affordable housing in their never-ending quest for more, more, more. Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, and Denmark have had enough and done something about it: we should, too.

There are a few things that are essential to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” that should never be purely left to the marketplace; these are the most important sectors where government intervention, regulation, and even subsidy are not just appropriate but essential. Housing is at the top of that list.

A few days ago I noted how, since the Reagan Revolution, the cost of housing has exploded in America, relative to working class income.

When my dad bought his home in the 1950s, for example, the median price of a single-family house was around 2.2 times the median American family income. Today the St. Louis Fed says the median house sells for $417,700 while the median American income is $40,480—a ratio of more than 10 to 1 between housing costs and annual income.

In other words, housing is about five times more expensive (relative to income) than it was in the 1950s.

And now we’ve surged past a new tipping point, causing the homelessness that’s plagued America’s cities since George W. Bush’s deregulation-driven housing- and stock-market crash in 2008, exacerbated by Trump’s bungling America’s pandemic response.

And the principal cause of both that crash and today’s crisis of homelessness and housing affordability has one, single, primary cause: billionaires treating housing as an investment commodity.

A new report from Popular Democracy and the Institute for Policy Studies reveals how billionaire investors have become a major driver of the nationwide housing crisis. They summarize in their own words:

— Billionaire-backed private equity firms worm their way into different segments of the housing market to extract ever-increasing rents and value from multi-family rental, single-family homes, and mobile home park communities. — Global billionaires purchase billions in U.S. real estate to diversify their asset holdings, driving the creation of luxury housing that functions as “safety deposit boxes in the sky.” Estimates of hidden wealth are as high as $36 trillion globally, with billions parked in U.S. land and housing markets. — Wealthy investors are acquiring property and holding units vacant, so that in many communities the number of vacant units greatly exceeds the number of unhoused people. Nationwide there are 16 million vacant homes: that is, 28 vacant homes for every unhoused person. — Billionaire investors are buying up a large segment of the short-term rental market, preventing local residents from living in these homes, in order to cash in on tourism. These are not small owners with one unit, but corporate owners with multiple properties. — Billionaire investors and corporate landlords are targeting communities of color and low-income residents, in particular, with rent increases, high rates of eviction, and unhealthy living conditions. What’s more, billionaire-owned private equity firms are investing in subsidized housing, enjoying tax breaks and public benefits, while raising rents and evicting low-income tenants from housing they are only required to keep affordable, temporarily. (Emphasis theirs.)

It seems that everywhere you look in America you see the tragedy of the homelessness these billionaires are causing. Rarely, though, do you hear about the role of Wall Street and its billionaires in causing it.

The math, however, is irrefutable.

Thirty-two percent is the magic threshold, according to research funded by the real estate listing company Zillow. When neighborhoods hit rent rates in excess of 32 percent of neighborhood income, homelessness explodes. And we’re seeing it play out right in front of us in cities across America because a handful of Wall Street billionaires are making a killing.

As the Zillow study notes:

“Across the country, the rent burden already exceeds the 32 percent [of median income] threshold in 100 of the 386 markets included in this analysis….”

And wherever housing prices become more than three times annual income, homelessness stalks like the grim reaper. That Zillow-funded study laid it out:

“This research demonstrates that the homeless population climbs faster when rent affordability — the share of income people spend on rent — crosses certain thresholds. In many areas beyond those thresholds, even modest rent increases can push thousands more Americans into homelessness.”

This trend is massive.

As noted in a Wall Street Journal article titled “Meet Your New Landlord: Wall Street,” in just one suburb (Spring Hill) of Nashville:

“In all of Spring Hill, four firms … own nearly 700 houses … [which] amounts to about 5% of all the houses in town.”

This is the tiniest tip of the iceberg.

“On the first Tuesday of each month,” notes the Journal article about a similar phenomenon in Atlanta, investors “toted duffels stuffed with millions of dollars in cashier’s checks made out in various denominations so they wouldn’t have to interrupt their buying spree with trips to the bank…”

The same thing is happening in cities and suburbs all across America; agents for the billionaire investor goliaths use fine-tuned computer algorithms to sniff out houses they can turn into rental properties, making over-market and unbeatable cash bids often within minutes of a house hitting the market.

After stripping neighborhoods of homes young families can afford to buy, billionaires then begin raising rents to extract as much cash as they can from local working class communities.

In the Nashville suburb of Spring Hill, the vice-mayor, Bruce Hull, told the Journal you used to be able to rent “a three bedroom, two bath house for $1,000 a month.” Today, the Journal notes:

“The average rent for 148 single-family homes in Spring Hill owned by the big four [Wall Street billionaire investor] landlords was about $1,773 a month…”

As the Bank of International Settlements summarized in a 2014 retrospective study of the years since the Reagan/Gingrich changes in banking and finance:

“We describe a Pareto frontier along which different levels of risk-taking map into different levels of welfare for the two parties, pitting Main Street against Wall Street. … We also show that financial innovation, asymmetric compensation schemes, concentration in the banking system, and bailout expectations enable or encourage greater risk-taking and allocate greater surplus to Wall Street at the expense of Main Street.”

It’s a fancy way of saying that billionaire-owned big banks and hedge funds have made trillions on housing while you and your community are becoming destitute.

Ryan Dezember, in his book Underwater: How Our American Dream of Homeownership Became a Nightmare, describes the story of a family trying to buy a home in Phoenix. Every time they entered a bid, they were outbid instantly, the price rising over and over, until finally the family’s father threw in the towel.

“Jacobs was bewildered,” writes Dezember. “Who was this aggressive bidder?”

Turns out it was Blackstone Group, now the world’s largest real estate investor run by a major Trump supporter. At the time they were buying $150 million worth of American houses every week, trying to spend over $10 billion. And that’s just a drop in the overall bucket.

As that new study from Popular Democracy and the Institute for Policy Studies found:

“[Billionaire Stephen Schwarzman’s] Blackstone is the largest corporate landlord in the world, with a vast and diversified real estate portfolio. It owns more than 300,000 residential units across the U.S., has $1 trillion in global assets, and nearly doubled its profits in 2021. “Blackstone owns 149,000 multi-family apartment units; 63,000 single-family homes; 70 mobile home parks with 13,000 lots through their subsidiary Treehouse Communities; and student housing, through American Campus Communities (144,300 beds in 205 properties as of 2022). Blackstone recently acquired 95,000 units of subsidized housing.”

In 2018, corporations and the billionaires that own or run them bought 1 out of every 10 homes sold in America, according to Dezember, noting that:

“Between 2006 and 2016, when the homeownership rate fell to its lowest level in fifty years, the number of renters grew by about a quarter.”

And it’s gotten worse every year since then.

This all really took off around a decade ago following the Bush Crash, when Morgan Stanley published a 2011 report titled “The Rentership Society,” arguing that snapping up houses and renting them back to people who otherwise would have wanted to buy them could be the newest and hottest investment opportunity for Wall Street’s billionaires and their funds.

Turns out, Morgan Stanley was right. Warren Buffett, KKR, and The Carlyle Group have all jumped into residential real estate, along with hundreds of smaller investment groups, and the National Home Rental Council has emerged as the industry’s premiere lobbying group, working to block rent control legislation and other efforts to control the industry.

As John Husing, the owner of Economics and Politics Inc., told The Tennessean newspaper:

“What you have are neighborhoods that are essentially unregulated apartment houses. It could be disastrous for the city.”

As Zillow found:

“The areas that are most vulnerable to rising rents, unaffordability, and poverty hold 15 percent of the U.S. population — and 47 percent of people experiencing homelessness.”

The loss of affordable homes also locks otherwise middle class families out of the traditional way wealth is accumulated — through home ownership: over 61% of all American middle-income family wealth is their home’s equity.

And as families are priced out of ownership and forced to rent, they become more vulnerable to homelessness.

Housing is one of the primary essentials of life. Nobody in America should be without it, and for society to work, housing costs must track incomes in a way that makes housing both available and affordable.

Singapore, Denmark, New Zealand, and parts of Canada have all put limits on billionaire, corporate, and foreign investment in housing, recognizing families’ residences as essential to life rather than purely a commodity. Multiple other countries are having that debate or moving to take similar actions as you read these words.

America should, too.

Social media can significantly impact your SEO efforts and help you connect with potential clients. Here are tips for leveraging social media:

Engage with Your Audience: Share informative content, property listings, and local market insights on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Visual Content: Real estate is a visual industry. Use high-quality images and videos to showcase properties. Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest can be particularly effective for sharing visuals.

NEW ZEALAND POLICY FOR SINGAPORE MOVERS

New Zealand has been one of the most sought-after destinations in the world, for people generally looking for greener pastures and many Singaporeans who wish to try their luck outside the country. With its awe-inspiring natural sceneries, high quality of living standards, and strong economy, New Zealand indeed presents a plethora of opportunities for those who intend to migrate. Apart from its natural and economic appeal, the New Zealand government has put in place various policies that greatly benefit movers, including those from Singapore, such as immigration policies, to housing and taxation policies, which will make life easier for the Singapore movers to adapt.

In this article, we review the key benefits of New Zealand policy for movers from Singapore and how these policies could streamline the process, make it efficient, and rewarding. Let's begin.

1. Immigration Policies: Simplifying the Move

The main valid reasons for relocation to New Zealand include its immigration policies, which are targeted at skilled professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors alike. New Zealand has a variety of visa classes that make relocation easy in this country for work, business, or long-term settlement.

Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) Visa

The SMC Visa is the most common route for Singapore movers to New Zealand. This visa class is intended for those individuals whose skills feature on New Zealand's demand list in the labour market of the country. Those Singaporeans who meet the qualifications that involve work experience, qualification, and a job offer in New Zealand can apply for residency through this visa.

New Zealand has had a points-based immigration system, offering clearer prospects for residency to the skilled professional from Singapore by giving them points for age, work experience, and education, among others. In addition, the need for skilled labor means that there could be further opportunities for those in areas like technology, finance, engineering, and health.

Investor Visa

The Investor Visa and Investor Plus Visas present fine areas of investment by Singaporeans in New Zealand. The New Zealand government welcomes outside investment, and these visas offer ways for high-net-worth individuals to earn residency through the method of investment in the economy of New Zealand.

This will be an attractive opportunity for Singaporean entrepreneurs and investors who will want to take advantage of New Zealand's stable economy, growing industries, and a good business climate. The policy will be streamlined so that the investor contributes to growth while benefiting from New Zealand's secure, transparent business climate.

Work to Residence Visa

A New Zealand Work to Residence Visa is an excellent opportunity for Singaporeans to get residency while working in the country. This is the class of visa that allows a person to work for a New Zealand employer in an identified role on the LTSSL, leading to possible residence after two years in this role.

This policy benefits Singaporeans through a clear and systemic avenue into permanent residency as they continue to contribute to New Zealand's labor market.

2. Tax Benefits: Favorable Tax Policies for New Residents

New Zealand provides new residents with very favorable tax conditions, which will be particularly advantageous to the mover from Singapore, who would not want to bear too much in tax liabilities.

No Capital Gains Tax

Probably the most attractive aspect of New Zealand's tax system is that there is no capital gains tax on the majority of assets. This can be very attractive to many Singaporeans who, quite possibly, have property, stocks, or other investments. While property and income taxes do exist, the lack of capital gains tax could save Singapore movers a great deal of money on their investments.

The policy is especially useful for Singaporeans who want to invest in property in New Zealand since it allows them to gain valuable experience from appreciation of the property without being assessed on capital gains.

Transitional Resident Status

Another major tax advantage of New Zealand's transitional resident status for movers from Singapore includes there being no tax on most foreign-sourced income for new residents qualifying for this status, for up to four years. These include income from overseas investments, pensions, and other financial assets.

However, this policy offers a nice and additional tax break during the initial years for the Singaporeans who have substantial foreign-sourced income and assets. They offer them a chance to adjust their lives and, simultaneously, move on with their new life without having any stress of immediate tax that needs to be paid on worldwide income.

No Inheritance Tax

The important advantage of New Zealand is that this jurisdiction does not provide for inheritance tax-a factor that will play a significant role for Singaporeans in long-term financial planning. It facilitates the possibility to transfer the wealth to future generations without facing a risk of estate taxation after death.

3. Housing Policies: Support for New Homebuyers

Buying or renting a home in New Zealand is considered one of the most important milestones in one's life as far as settling down is concerned for a Singaporean moving to the country. Fortunately, New Zealand housing policies are friendly, if not considerably so, for new residents in the country, especially in terms of buying property.

No Restrictions on Foreign Property Ownership

Unlike other countries, which put major restrictions on the ownership of property by foreigners, New Zealand does not restrict or impose major restrictions on the ownership of residential property by foreigners. Therefore, the country gives a window of opportunity for new residents, such as Singaporeans, purchasing residential properties. This also helps the movers from Singapore to purchase a home and establish themselves in the country with ease.

Though some restriction exists in land purchasing of sensitive or rural land types, the overall policy is so foreign-buyer-friendly, which really lures Singaporeans who are used to treading through a competitive and high-priced home property market within their country.

First Time Home Buyer Assistance

There are various New Zealand government schemes that offer some form of financial assistance to first-home buyers. For example, first-home buyers that fall within certain criteria and have been in the KiwiSaver retirement savings scheme can receive the KiwiSaver HomeStart grant to assist them with buying their first home.

Thus, for Singaporeans coming to New Zealand, the policy serves as financial assistance toward buying their first homes and residences in the country.

4. Healthcare and Social Security Benefits

The general New Zealand health system and social security benefits are the key attractions for relocating people from Singapore, especially those moving with families or retirees looking for quiet and secure environments.

Public Healthcare System

New Zealand has a good, publicly funded healthcare system, mostly through general taxation, hence ensuring that residents have access to necessary medical treatment with minimal or no costs. Therefore, for the Singaporeans moving into New Zealand, access to the health care system would imply world-class medical treatments devoid of financial burdens created by private healthcare systems in other countries.

This is a special plus, especially for retirees or families with elderly members, since all senors are guaranteed access to New Zealand's healthcare policies for all needed medical care, including visits to the hospital, specialists and surgical procedures.

ACC

ACC or the New Zealand's Accident Compensation Corporation renders complete compensation to all its citizens in case of injury, no matter where or how the injury occurred. The government insurance scheme allows financial compensations for the injuries and provides medical treatment and rehabilitation facilities to people who suffer from injuries.

Essentially, for movers in Singapore, the ACC offers peace of mind in knowing that one is covered in case of any accidents, whether on or off the job, or during one's recreational activities.

5. Education Policies: High-Quality Education for Families

Apart from the scenic beauty of the country, for families relocating from Singapore to New Zealand, education policies are another big plus for the country. New Zealand offers quality education at all levels, from primary school to university, and its public education system is free for residents.

World-Class Universities

Some of its world-class universities include the University of Auckland, the University of Otago, and Victoria University of Wellington. These provide a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs hence making the country an ideal destination for Singaporeans looking for higher education opportunities abroad.

Student Support

New Zealand's education policies also support international students and their families. Examples include that children of skilled migrants have the right to attend public schools without paying international fees, and there are a number of scholarships available to support Singaporean students going to New Zealand for higher education.

Conclusion

New Zealand's immigration policy presents the country as a suitable destination for movers emanating from Singapore, considering various benefits that the policy offers to create an easy immigration process with various tax advantages, housing purchases, quality healthcare, and education. Singaporeans can enjoy New Zealand's friendly policy to enable them to have smoother, more viable, and rewarding relocations for work, family reunions, or retirement.

No Deposit Renting Guide for Singapore Residents

In recent years, no-deposit renting has become more popular in Singapore. This method lets tenants rent without a deposit. It helps avoid the usual large security payments, which are often 1-2 months of rent. With living costs going up, many are looking for affordable rental no-deposit deals.

This guide will explore the different types of deposit-free rent in Singapore. It will help meet the growing demand, as seen by PropertyGuru and other sources. I want to give you key information on how these rentals work, their benefits, and any possible challenges in this changing rental market.

Understanding No Deposit Renting Options

In Singapore, many people find no deposit renting appealing. It's great for those who can't save for a big upfront payment. Landlords outside big property firms often offer more flexibility, not sticking to strict deposit rules.

Initiatives like “Rent Now, Pay Later” make no upfront deposits even better. Real estate companies offer payment plans that help renters manage their money. Knowing about these plans is key for those looking at no deposit options.

It's also important to understand the legal side of no-deposit leases. The Ministry of National Development and the Housing and Development Board have rules. These rules help renters know their rights and duties and help avoid problems.

No deposit renting makes the rental market in Singapore more open. It helps people with different financial situations. By exploring these options, renters can find deals that fit their needs.

Navigating the No Deposit Lease Market in Singapore

Looking for a no deposit lease in Singapore can be both rewarding and challenging. I start by checking out reputable property platforms. These sites specialize in rentals that don't require a deposit. They help me compare and research different options before deciding.

When I look at rental agreements, I make sure they really mean no deposit. I check the contract details for any hidden fees. Spotting these early can avoid future problems.

It's also key to talk openly with landlords or property managers. Discussing what we both expect helps clear up any confusion. Being open and honest builds trust, making the renting process smoother.

Technology makes finding no-deposit rentals easier. Mobile apps for property searches save me time and send me alerts about new listings so I don't miss out.

What is Google Play Scraper, and How does it Work?

Since there is Google Play official free and good API, this scraper should assist you in scraping data from Google Play.

This Google Play Data Scraper helps with the following features:

Collect instant reviews - you can search for any query you want to scrape and get the output.

Any region or language - extract any list you want to collect from the Google Play app.

Search for any query - you can search for any query you want to scrape data for and get the output.

Get multiple applications from any developer - you can check and extract the data for the latest updates.

Updates, Bugs, Changelog, and Fixes

You can mail us anytime if you face any issues using this API or have any feature suggestions or requests.

Google Play Scraper Input Parameters

You should insert the input in JSON format to this scraper with the Google Play pages list you want to visit. Check the below-required data fields.FieldTypeDescription

startUrls

Array

startUrls Array It is the optional input field to place the Google Play URL list. You must only give developer page, search, or application page links.

includeReviews

Boolean

This input field will add each review that the source platform gives in application objects. Note that the API's resources and time will proportionally increase by the review count.

endReviewsPage

Integer

endReviewsPage Integer It is the optional field to feed the final review count page you wish to scrape.

proxy

Object

Proxy configuration

Using this API would help if you used proxy servers to scrape data. You can use your proxy or try the Real Data API proxy.

Advice

If you wish to extract many application reviews, use endReviewsPage. Though this API can scrape all the reviews, the total resource consumption will increase significantly.

Calculate Unit Consumption

The API is optimized to extract more and more details quickly. Hence it forefronts each detail request. If Google Play doesn't block this API, it will scrape a hundred apps within a minute with 0.001 to 0.003 compute units.

Input Example of Google Play Scraper

{ "startUrls":[ "https://play.google.com/store/search?q=hello&c=apps&hl=tr&gl=US", "https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Mattel163+Limited", "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinybuildgames.helloneighbor&hl=tr&gl=US" ], "includeReviews":true, "endReviewsPage":1, "proxy":{ "useRealdataAPIProxy":true } }

While Executing

The API will give you output messages about what's happening. Every message includes a short specifications label to inform which page the API is scraping. After loading items from the page, you must read a message about this activity with the total item count and loaded item count for every page.

If you give the wrong input to the API, it will fail to execute and give you the failure reason in the output.

Google Play Export

While executing, the API saves the output into a dataset. There are separate columns and rows for each item in the dataset.

You can export outputs in any coding language like NPM, PHP, Python, etc.

Google Play Scraped Properties

The format of all the Google Play applications is below.
