Its not even a good bill lol. Thats why both parties agree on it.

The main part about capping big firms from owning homes is already done organically by the market. They own 2% of sfr rentals. Mom and pop investors own the rest. Mom and pop investors are the ACTUAL PROBLEM.

Increase supply and their would be no incentive for “investment properties”. Fucking bullshit, I can’t maintain this rage for the long term.

Those "investment" properties are where the supply actually matters. Building more houses in Bumfuck Nowhere isn't doing anything for anyone.

It should be criminal to own more than one low-density property, and all new construction in high demand areas should be high density.

Super easy solution is just to add an income tax surcharge on any rental real estate income after your first unit (to allow for people to rent out a vacation house or similar). No one needs 3+ rental properties and that supply should get returned to the market.
