The analogy I always liked was:
Success is like a carnival dart game.
If you’re poor you probably don’t even get a chance to play. Maybe once with some help from friends and family. But even then, the odds are still not good.

If you’re rich you can afford to throw as many darts as you want until you succeed.

It was the Leonardo DiCaprio version, wasn’t it?
SUPER high level, and slightly biased explanation: corporate home buying.
Large investment firms like buying up property increasing the demand and raising prices. This prices normal people out of being able to afford a house. It also raises other housing related costs like rent, because these firms want to make a profit. This in turn prices people out of being able to afford ANY housing.
When we’re just numbers on a spreadsheet, there is a certain level of vacancy and homelessness, that maximizes profits.
John Stewart highlighted a few:
