Trump's Housing Pivot Blames Wall Street, but Data Say It Won't Move Prices

President Trump pivots to blaming 'institutional investors' for high housing costs and pushes a ban; Catherine Rampell explains that these investors own only a small share of single-family rentals, have been net sellers while shifting to build-to-rent, and banning them would likely have little effect on affordability and could raise costs in some markets. Real fixes require zoning reform, streamlined permitting, and broader policy changes, while demagoguery about Wall Street misses the bigger picture.
