How about buying up housing stock in popular inner city areas only to "provide" housing for people?

Housing is an essential good. Profiting off an essential isn't so great suddenly. Yes people need to rent, but many would buy if prices weren't pushed up.

Are they or the hand sanitizer guy assisting the market in any way here? Or are they parasitic?

People are going to be asking a lot about unfettered capitalism after this.

We are going to see many ugly examples in America before this is done.
