"We have seen corporate landlords—who own a larger share of the rental market than ever before—use inflation as an excuse to hike rents and reap excess profits beyond what should be considered fair and reasonable."
The lowest non-condemned house in my city is currently listed at over half a million dollars. There is a three story office building in my block that has been empty since March 2020.
If the lowest house in your area is $0.5M and it’s selling… that’s supply and demand. Low supply of housing, high demand in your area. It sucks but it’s a lack of local supply to drive prices down (likely coupled with skyrocketing building materials costs due to price gouging “inflation” making building less feasible)
Office space is pretty different for a lot of reasons, and the need for it in general has shrank a lot after the pandemic.

Pity we don’t have people whose job it is to do plumbing work. Nope, doesn’t exist.
