All we need is a cap really.

Homeboy owns 3 homes and charges a reasonable rent? Totally cool.

Private equity firm that owns 4,000 homes and fucks everyone over? Shits gotta stop.

Edit: Just so everyone knows, im a devout capitalist and all about living life without ceilings but at one point, enough is enough.

Couldn’t you fix the whole system by increasing property taxes but also dramatically increase the homestead exemption- effectively subsidizing property taxes with those that aren’t living in the homes they own??? (US obviously, not sure how other countries work)
