I think corporations should be limited to owning a small quantity of sfh. Maybe a dozen unless they can show a compelling reason such as housing for employees.
Sfh are meant for families.
We don't want company towns, there should be no exceptions.
Maybe put in a few exceptions for things like remote research or production facilities where no real town or civilization in general exists around them. Basically the kind where rotating worker shifts are stationed for 3-6 months at a time and then move back for a few months off.
Brb, going to set up 100 LLCs to each own a dozen single-family homes.
You don't place the limit on the company you place the limit on the region. Just like zoning often requires a certain amount of green space you write regulations that only 10-25% of all single family homes can be owned by corporations.
Just scale the tax, it’s so fucking easy to fix. But if they wait it’ll become a giant problem where some awful company or groups of company will fail and break the economy for a while etc etc.
All you have to do is scale the tax. 1 house normal tax rate. 2 houses 2x tax rate on all properties. 3 houses 3x the tax rate on all properties.
Numbers probably need adjusting but that keeps things reasonable, even for small landlords you can scale it so its fair and keeps properties local and even a good investment vehicle for individuals but prevent it from becoming an exploitive market by giants corps.
Trump changed salt for personal taxes. Just make the rules cover corporations as well. I got fucked in salt
