Low Home Ownership Rate Hurting the Economy [View article]
The real problem is rooted in artificially expanding home ownership to its peak of around 69% through horribly loose credit standards; we are now paying the price of inflating home ownership to unsustainable levels through lending to many that should not have been extended credit. There other problems as well.

Each new home that is built deepens the challenge of those sitting on properties for either sale or rent.
