So where do all the renters come from?

But none of that is relevant to the article of this post. That article talks about money to complete unfinished projects. It's in the very first paragraph. There are people who took out loans to buy pre-construction apartments with plans to live there, who are now in trouble.
China made the right move here. If you think the IMF is right show me homeownership rates in countries that did as the IMF suggested.
mostly foreign speculators, what's wrong with having them lose money?
you do know that homelessness and lack of affordability in many Western countries has nothing to do with the supply or demand? there are more empty homes than there are homeless people
