You’re half right. It shouldn’t be allowed to happen at all. Personally I think, one person, one house—that’s it. Corporations can’t own SFH. Taxed on empty units, taxed on high rates.

yup tax on empty units in general would help a lot including rent prices, if you want to not pay the extra tax, better lower your rent to a point people can afford. So the tax needs to be high enough for this decision to be made.

What's a family to do?

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 days ago

I'm guessing they mean maximum one person one house, so a person can't own two houses but many people can choose to live in one house.
