Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has recently voiced strong concerns about the influence of investment firms in the housing market. In a recent statement during his talk to a crowd at an event on Wednesday at Ember Music Hall, Kennedy drew attention to the practices of major companies like BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street, which collectively control a significant portion of the market.
Kennedy pointed out instances where potential homebuyers were outbid by cash offers at the last moment, leaving them without a chance to secure their dream home. He attributed this instance to the practices of these investment giants, referring to them as “one huge vehement.”
