There are enough houses.

There are too many landlords.

For every rental, there is at least one landlord. In and of itself, this isn't a bad thing. Some people don't want to own homes, and would rather rent. There should be that option. Option. Not the only possibility. There are not enough ownable homes, because too many are owned by investment firms that keep them deliberately empty to drive up prices. Real estate investing should be heavily regulated, and, yes, this includes over landlords.
