> It’s when an investor outbids a family for a second property and turns it into a full-time Airbnb. Or worse, when a holiday rental company does so.

This is all caused by investments no longer offering the same yield. Yields and interest rates have dropped artificially, due to the Fed and government pouring liquidity into the market.
The abnormally cheap credit then flows through the system into whatever is left to buy, including housing, stocks, and CryptoPunks.
