Yes, seriously, blaming a real-estate listing website for listing real-estate is absolutely insane. We all need to build more housing, that's it. That's the solution.

They do not only list real estate, they own a lot of it and speculate with it thanks to their advantageous position.
I think you're confusing things slightly – I don't think idealista owns any property. They are however owned by a private equity group that invests among other things directly in real estate, which is tbf extremely common in PE.
There's no practical difference.
do you have prove of Idealista owning a lot of real state? are zillow or trullia part of the problem in the US?

Idealista is the lead real state listing site in spain, and has other kind of problems, but I don't think they have a say on this.
