"If I were introspective, I'd have to admit that I was really lucky, I am not special, and that the govt funded the things that helped me get rich.

This is ridiculously oversimplified, because there is no real market in housing. It is illegal to build in all of the places people want to buy. The purchase of housing by hedge funds isn't a problem on its own, it's simply a symptom of the bigger problem of supply restrictions.
