Do you allow couples to own two houses then? How do you prevent two people living together from not owning a second house to rent?
Also, you'd be surprised just how little a person needs to live in lol.
I don't think we need to make this literally true - we can put in a lot of wiggle room, because we just need to restrict doing this at scale
Say, no more than 2 homes per household, 1 extra for each additional adult. You want a vacation house, or a place near work? Fine. You want to buy another house and take your time moving? Fine. You want both? Make some compromises.
Or we could make the limit 5 per household - that would be excessive, but if they couldn't rent them out it would still decomodify housing, because it's people buying homes at scale that really is killing us
From there, you'd crack down locally - if you want to live in the boonies, I don't care if you have 5 acres. If you live in a city with a housing shortage, maybe you only get a certain square footage per person, maybe certain areas are primary residence only, or however you want to slice it
