Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado's announcement of his candidacy includes a populist critique of corporate involvement in housing, framing it as detrimental to affordability. While he condemns corporations in real estate, his stance raises questions about the implications for capitalists that enable traditional home-buying processes. The article argues that nearly all sectors are intertwined with corporate motivations, suggesting that blaming corporate power for rising housing costs may oversimplify a complex issue. Expensive housing is often tied to market dynamics, particularly supply and demand, rather than solely corporate greed.
"Is Delgado saying that businesses should not be able to buy, sell, rent, renovate, finance or otherwise invest in the housing market?"
"All of those steps involve capitalists, many of which could be demonized as corporate power if a politician were so inclined."
