Pretty much no one actually means people that rent out a single house with this.
When there are enough vacant houses to give every homeless person a home that only stay vacant because some shitty corp decided to gamble with the housing market, with the government doing nothing to prevent this and being too incompetent to provide more than a fraction of the apartments they promised, one would assume that people wouldn't build strawmen to make themselves feel better but actually for once take action against the people ruling our lives.
