Except the housing market, especially the rental market, is still significantly driven by small rental property owners and is a significant source of generational wealth transfer.

Starting with the assumption that all or even most investors / actors are rational is a continuing pox on both economic scholarship and societal thinking

actors are in aggregate rational and self interested, but emotions are important.
