Housing should he a necessity of life. Corporations shouldn’t be allowed to own homes. Limit individuals to 5.

If corporations want to own “homes” then they can build an apartment complex.

Id say even max two houses. No one needs more than one anyways. The second can be for the rich assholes that need vacation homes.

That or limit it to being outside a certain radius, so you can have your house in the city and a second property out in the woods for the weekend as long as it’s, for example, 50 miles away or more and then if you want a third property it needs to be at least 50 miles away from the other two and so on. Make it impractical enough that second properties are only cottages, not rental units in the same city.

Or control the type of ownership based on the number of doors. 1 to 4 doors > private ownership. 5 to 8 doors > corporation or cooperatives. 9 doors or more > cooperatives/non profit/State corporation.

Which they are already doing everywhere in my area. I’d say we should also limit their ownership of apartment complexes. Though that’s a tougher problem to solve.

650k people are homeless. Has nothing to do w housing market or salary.

“Data collected and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal from more than 250 homeless organizations have counted at least 550,000 homeless people so far, a 10 percent rise from last year’s reports. The numbers gathered from cities and rural areas show homelessness as it was on a single night earlier this year.

The upward trend means that the US will probably reach and pass the 2023 estimate of 653,000 homeless people. It’s the highest number since the government began sharing such data in 2007.”

I was confused by the title at first too. It should probably be “US is on track to set a new record for homelessness with over 650K people living on the streets”.
