What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Candidates running for the 19th Congressional District in Texas discussed housing affordability. Democrat Kyle Rable specifically targeted large investment firms, such as BlackRock, for buying single-family homes and converting them into rentals. Rable stated this practice drives up home costs, making them unaffordable for the average American. Sources indicate that Tom Sell suggested the federal government could use tax policy to encourage homeownership.
