What we need to focus on is interrupting that cycle you described, in which especially large financialized landlords are purchasing properties and often displacing the tenants who are there so that they can raise the rent, thereby raising the value of the asset, and then selling that asset and returning the profit to their shareholders and members.
Moving that building into non-profit and co-op control interrupts that cycle. That's why we're focusing on acquisition. It protects those tenancies, because we know that in that transaction in the private sector, those tenancies are at risk. There's a strong motivation for a new owner to increase the value of their assets by displacing those tenants and changing those rents.
The longer someone has been in that home, the more they're a problem on the balance sheet for that new owner. Grandma, who's been living there for 20 years at $800-a-month rent, is vulnerable in this situation, but no longer will be when that property is owned by a non-profit, a co-op or a community land trust. That's the outcome we need to protect.
