Video: Stop Corporations from Buying Up All the Homes

Vinny shares his perspective on the root causes of Southern Nevada’s housing crisis and why he strongly opposes reckless desert sprawl.

The Corporate Problem: Vinny points out that private equity firms and hedge funds have bought up nearly 500,000 homes since 2008, locking local working families out of homeownership.

A Misguided Solution: Rather than reining in corporate buyers, politicians from both parties are proposing to sell off federal public lands for sprawling housing developments down toward Gene—a project Vinny warns would drain 50 million gallons of water every single day.

Protecting Our Resources: Nevadans have made real sacrifices to conserve water, and Vinny believes state leadership should focus on smart growth rather than developer giveaways that strain our water supply.
