Good, real estate speculation is nothing more than high stakes scalping. And scalpers are scum.

Squatting vacant housing to pump the price of rentals should be an executable offense.

I think the whole point of squatting is in empty properties...

You can't squat if someone lives there.

I mean, investors buying houses and not letting people move in, to raise the price of houses around them.
