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

        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.

          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.
