MODERATORS
In 20 or so years, when there are more voters unable to buy houses than there are voters who own houses, this should autocorrect.
The recent US trend of corporations buying up real estate to rent out is very scary because it will prevent this autocorrection.
How does it prevent the autocorrection? Wouldn’t future voters still not own housing?
I think what they’re implying is that it would not be feasible to seize or remove properties already owned by corporations, and by the time reforms are actually attempted they will own a significant portion of properties, making it extremely difficult to get those already-owned houses in the hands of first time buyers.
