Make a secondary house all but impossible to own via property tax, and make it illegal for corporations to own property. Watch housing cost plummet through the floor.
Oh not only can you, it’s encouraged. I see libs talking on Reddit about how it’s actually better than renting because you take on a risk when renting and an empty house builds value and doesn’t run the chance of damage.
This is of course why private property sucks, but if the general populous can’t stomach that, I’d be willing to settle for georgism.
The issue is that they’re already doing this with HOAs. They don’t care if they owne your house, but they own the dirt under it and can evict you for bullshit reasons. Make corporate HOAs illegal too
I was waiting for this comment, and it’s the reason I framed it this way. Because an HOA done right is pretty much a commune. You can chose the membership terms, penalties, and organization scope.
I’ve seen some where not paying your dues simply locks you out of amenities like pool access, and that’s it. So it’s kind of what you make it. Doesn’t have to be the nightmare most deal with.
That could be handled with a communal spaces, a HOA tends to end run by the “Karens” trying to micromanage everyone, and the boys who think they’re Wyatt Earp running around enforcing stuff.
There’s no excuse for meddling in the affairs of your neighbor, unless what they are doing is literally dangerous, as much as a flamingo in the yard pains me to see it doesn’t actually hurt me.
Same to say my raised beds don’t hurt anyone, breaking the boring theme of crappy lawns isn’t reason to tack notices to the door, and a lot of them will attack people near the HOA not just the ones in it.
The people that would write these laws are the ones profiting off the exploits in the system. The politicians literally get legal bribes to allow the behaviour.

You are asking to make corporations illegal which I am admittedly in favor of but don’t think that’s what you were going for
It wasn’t intentional, but I believe that my subconscious knows what’s up, so I’ll stick with it.
Make it illegal for companies to own standalone housing then.
No, just make corporations rent land or property from the government.
100%. Right now you can write your empty property off on your taxes as a loss in most places*
*In the US
It’s insanity. Should be the complete opposite. If there’s no renter in it? More tax!

Good lord those people are idiots. Few things kill a house faster than being uninhabited

HOAs are just power tripping cunts. They treat their “job” like it’s life or death. Fuck HOAs.
So like reddit mods?

Threaten them, or threaten their votes.
