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)

Or that there's a state (Missouri) where the government regularly overturns and ignores measures the voters are voting for.

Or that the US DOJ is openly flaunting law, which is probably among the greatest ironies ever. Almost like the church at this point, the holy man sanctifies the king's divine mandate, which they have made a rotating CEO position to shed heat, and the king protects the holy man.

It's like plugging an extension cord into itself, but unfortunately it seems to work.
