    I see that this is about AI listing but i realized that we have a huge problem of housing as an asset.

    It makes HOAs protect the perceived wealth and therefore appearance of a neighborhood. They are more like collectors refusing to take a doll out of the box lest it lose some value instead if making a kid happy.
    And you have assholes who assume that because they found some of thatbsame doll in their basment covered in mold they haven’t taken care of they should get nearly the same value as the collectors. Afterall its the same deeply sought after item.

    All of this instead of an empathetic system of knowing that housing isnt something that is just desired but needed and everyone has gotten so far removed from housing.

      Yep, housing as an investment vehicle is a fundamentally harmful concept. Strong Towns have talked about the subject a bunch, their material may interest you
