20 million illegals drive rental prices through the roof.
Most rental owners are bottom feeding scums.
Property management companies are bottom feeding scums.

Go ahead, expound on this some more. My belief is that people who hate rental owners are lazy, good-for-nothing deadbeats.
I worked hard to earn the money I used to buy my rentals. I saved up and when there was a dip in the housing market DW and I would spend months looking for a good property. Priced right, just the right kind of disrepair that we could fix ourselves with lots of "sweat equity", and a motivated seller. But also in a basically decent neighborhood that might even have appreciation potential over the long haul.
Neighbors loved us because we took an eyesore property right next to them and make it look good. They didn't like that we were going to rent it -- no one does. But when the housing market is in the doldrums and the distressed property next to you is vacant and going downhill, sometimes that is a better choice than anything else on the table.
Owning rentals is a business that we started up and ran successfully. If someone doesn't like my prices or the service I provide, they are free to go elsewhere. And I don't rent to people with your attitude. If you don't like that, earn your own down payment and buy your own house.
When someone doesn't like my rental policies, prices, or rules they don't ever seem to see the decades of work, and business choices that led to success. But they are always 100% in favor of the government taking the result of that work away from me and redistributing it to them.
If you really want to see a housing crisis, go ahead and get rid of all the landlords.
