The taxes just raise the rent and then you have more homeless, NO. You are still denying normal people with average incomes the right to home ownership! Groups and banks should not be able to buy homes.

Okay. what happens if every corporate owned house in America was suddenly on the market?

Not all houses are owned by corporations. I once owned a second home in South Dakota. It was taxed at a higher rate if I was not in residence on a specific date. Maybe explore the idea before doing a knee jerk reaction.

There’s a huge difference between an individual owning a 2nd home and corporations and private equity owning thousands all across the country. Not at all comparable.

The point was to try to think about solutions. If there was more revenue could we use it to solve problems like the unhoused? If every corporate owned home was suddenly put on the market, what would happen? In CO, there seems to be more homes on the market than buyers.

The issue is more complicated than "let's make all corporate owners sell immediately"

I read about a (yet another) "luxury rental" complex going up in my town. It's financed by a developer who is also a First Selectman (different town.) His company owns many buildings and the rent for a 580 SF studio is $2030+utilities + amenities fee. How can people save?

I forgot to mention, his business sells shares in the rental complex building business.

If you increase my landlord’s taxes, he will (and has) passed it on to me. I can barely afford rent now, so an increase would make me among the unhoused. This is a Trump like idea: create homelessness, slightly repair the issue, and expect applause for barely fixing the mess created.

So, what is YOUR solution. I don't mind the criticism or that you disgree with ideas that I've thrown out, but you need to know that I am not a Trump supporter, I have a BS in business from the University of Colorado, and I have spent a lot of time thinking about the current housing crisis.

Do you think government should control the price of rent? How about other prices? NYC had/has rent control and people still have trouble affording it.
