The expectation that housing is an investment that should perform like stock is the entire problem IMO.

This is a weird take. I get the desire to house people but someone choosing to rent rather than sell a home they own is not the crux of the issue. When there are corporations keeping swaths of housing empty to raise rent rates the real issue is market manipulation not small participants.

it's def not the crux of the issue, never said that. it's a dynamic of the market though

curious where this is happening? would love to learn about that.
