      You know that they will just sell to large corporations that will fuck you over even harder. This is not to be celebrated

          So, when we get there, let’s also fix THAT problem. Im not a lawyer but I will bet my left hand it’s possible to write a law that can block large companies from investing in houses.

          If you see people trying to fix a problem and your first instinct is to look for a reason to preserve the status quo, … Well don’t be like that.

            There should be a logarithmic scaling on taxes for a home depending on how many you own. A normal person should be able to own a home. A rich person might be able to afford 3, a billionaire should be able to afford 10.

        Yeah, big corporate landlords are a problem. Stopping all landlords from jacking up prices is a good thing. This can build momentum for more effective legislation for corporate landlords.
