No reason whatsoever anyone should own 5 "homes" (at that point they are not homes, they are a commodity).

Housing is a human right, and it needs to be entirely decommodified.

Each successive property beyond one should add an additional 10% to the property taxes. The owner may list them in any order, but you pay 110% for the second property and 200% for the 11th

An easier approach would be to turn every apartment building into a housing co-op.

Capitalist for-profit housing simply should not exist.

I'd even say no more than two properties. Make people apply for a permit to own more than that and put extreme limits on the reasons they could be successful depending on the current market.

The vast majority of 'good' landlords are people who were sketchy about investing in stock markets. As they rightfully should be because it requires infinite growth to keep people retiring without serious wage redistribution. But let's kick that football down the road more.

Most of them are old and elderly. There's no way the government forces private land owners to sell off anytime soon though. Let alone the difference in taxing/sales of land ownership vs home ownership. A hard cap on total homes owned would be nice though. People really out to diversify their savings and equity is a huge one.

There's so much good that could be done that starts failing when defacto mini government coops start up though. You'll have a hard time finding the difference between Coop and government owned housing but you'll see people lambast government ownership like we've already seen in this thread lol.

My city levies land tax on any land that isn't the owner's private residence

That though really just increases rent, even if rent is unfair already

They have just also added a thing where you don't cop land tax if you rent out a place at sufficiently below market rate

It boggles my mind how people still insist there's a "free market" in rent when we have proof of giant property management corporations colluding nationwide to raise rents.

This shit is why we need rent control.

"I'mma need to be greedy with you because my wife is asian" AKA why capitalists will always side with racism even if its a transparent attempt to bilk people of money.

What people don't seem to credit enough is the fact that nearly all wealthy people are shitty people. I'm not being facetious. I know a lot of them, and they almost universally believe that they earned every penny of their fortunes.

The rest of us are just lazy. That's how they see everything. Some break the mold, sure... But the grand majority are trash people.

It's appropriate because he owns a lot of houses. Recently sold a couple to make half a million bucks tax free 'cos NZ doesn't have a capital gains tax which Luxon Luther thinks would be just terrible for the country... For completely selfless reasons, of course. He's a scumbag and a racist and liar
