Because they allowed "house-flipping", where whole neighborhoods go empty while the flippers make money off of novice flippers who they sell to to make a quick profit, while no one ever ends up actually living in the house because they can't afford it.

I remember one block near where I grew up, had at least 20 homes (on a block with something like 30 twin homes), that were being flipped in the same year period.
