they have all been buying up all kinds of real estate from single family homes, apartment houses, condos, etc for over a decade....

Not only THAT, but all the land they can buy everywhere.....

BTW......Interesting Fact, the person who just became the owner of the most land in the entire U.S. is the guy who owns the Colorado Avalanche, the Denver Nuggets, and many other Professional Sports Teams. Kroenke is married to one of the Walton Clan.
Others in the Walton Clan just bought the Denver Broncos........
