The craziest shit I've ever seen was some "report" in the UK or Australia where people's unused bedrooms were counted as vacant housing, to say they didn't need to build housing. Hey mom good news I found you a roommate.
I hear this myth all the time and it’s bizarre. Rich people hire property management companies to handle all the logistics for them and still get 90% of the rent each month. The idea that landlords are forgoing free money en masse makes no sense.
My grandmother had four bedrooms. One with two huge double beds, one with a regular double, and two singles.
Guess what? She could host visiting offspring, with their families of up to four grandkids!

One for the 'people can just grow their own food' line!
