In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, we break down the real reason rents are skyrocketing across America—and it’s not just inflation or housing shortages. It’s a perfect storm of bad policy, private equity control, and government distortion.
Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why average rent has nearly tripled in 25 years—and it’s not slowing down
• How government rent controls and zoning rules are making housing worse
• The rise of securitized real estate and what it means for your lease
• Why automated leasing systems are killing landlord accountability
• And how Wall Street investors are locking prices above market value

This isn’t just a housing crisis—it’s a system rigged against renters.
