Big rental companies/STR companies and PE firms that also dabble in both drive up the cost of neighborhoods far more than typical landlords. Landlords are usually an issue for driving the value of a building down due to refusal to fix anything that isn’t absolutely about to kill someone - and even then they often don’t until an assessor or someone identifies it and makes threats.
Don’t get me wrong, landlords are an issue too. But my first comment I said renters need more rights. That’s me saying they need protection from greedy/negligent landlords as well.
