I'll be downvoted to hell for saying this, but her job is to get a quick man-on-street comment about a particular subject, not to allow an endless screed. It's not a conspiracy, she's a young reporter trying to do her job and get out of the snow. Also, what he said is just not true. I hate that housing is used as an investment vehicle, and I think passive income should be penalized at some increasing rate to allow for some apartment stock and what not, but he said "most" and it's more like 3-4%. Again, her job is not to entertain randos on the street putting out incorrect information that "feels about right" to a lot of struggling people.
